Not like it costs much to acquire him. I got him as an fa after waivers ran. Dropped njoku for him. No biggie.

CJ Prosise - RB - Notre Dame (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Eminence
- Start date
Earlier I poo-poohed this entire SEA backfield situation, but the more I think about it, it isn't crazy to think Prosise could become starter-grade if Rawls and Lacy simply continue to do nothing.
The Seahawks' offensive philosophy is definitely the power run game, but how long will they stay with it when it isn't working? Hard to know, but Prosise could really pop if they stop leaning on the Lacy/Rawls combo.
The flipside is, it's not too often you see coaches change their teams' identity mid-course. Now I'm talking myself out of it.

I was one of the few that thought Lacy may have something left in the tank but now I'm convinced that he's fully cooked.
Last year when Prosise was putting up good stats, he was still splitting carries / snaps with Rawls, which leads me to believe it can happen again this season.
Not only that but Rawls doesn't look as good as he did last year, so there is room for improvement for Prosise.
Petey seems to believe in the kid, invested high draft pick, and he has the size to get a decent workload. We can only wait and see.

The thing I wonder about is doesn't Prosise get game scripted a.k.a does his usage wax or wane depending on whether the Seahawks are ahead/behind? Because this week you'd think the Hawks will be playing ahead (although playing a road East coast game vs. a suddenly hungry team you never know), so that would favor Rawls/Lacy. Next 4 though:
8 Oct 29 - Hou Sun 4:05 pm
9 Nov 5 - Was Sun 4:05 pm
10 Nov 9 - @Ari Thu 8:25 pm
11 Nov 20 - Atl Mon 8:30 pm
That favors a more offensive passing attack. Prosise could make a statement if he has a good game this week and the others not impress.

Full on Thursday means he's completely healthy. He will have an opportunity as I don't see Lacy doing anything, and Rawls shouldn't do that much better. Shifty pass catching backs are what give the Giants problems, look what Melvin Gordon did to them a few weeks ago.

Im wondering if this is some kind of strange situation where both Rawls and Lacy try and succeed in turning each other into domesticated cats through witchcraft.
Probably a better word would have been cannibalize but catabolize works too. Catabolism is the process of breaking something down into smaller pieces and generally looked at as a negative process, usually related to protein breakdown in the body.
But it could also refer to lacy and rawls eating away at each other’s opportunities and splitting the pie.

we are at that part of the season where we are grasping. If you wait for him to play good-you are out of luck. I dropped McFadden for him. at least Prosise is playing. I have no crystal ball. just keep trying.

Yes I'm aware of the term cannibalize and it's usage in FF circles, it was my attempt at a joke but I will admit to thinking it was a typo, I've never heard of the term catabolise being used before !

If you're like 2-4 and in desperate need of a win, Prosise isn't your guy. Go get an Orleans Darkwa type who has a 6-7 point floor in standard.
If you're fortunate enough to be sitting 5-1 or 6-0, or otherwise an odds-on favorite for the playoffs, it's a much better strategy to reserve those last couple spots on your bench for guys with a chance to be league winners, even if that chance is relatively small.
In the leagues where I'm in the latter situation, I'm loading up on names like Alex Collins, Dion Lewis, Alvin Kamara ... and, yes, Prosise. I don't assume he's going to lead the backfield in fantasy points at season's end, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. Seattle's offense tends to get better the later in the season they go, and a primary backfield option on a top-10 offense in December is pretty much the definition of 'league winner'. Even if there's only a 15% chance of that happening, it's well worth the roster spot.

Physical ability and skills says - Prosise looks a LOT like Shaun Alexander.

A few years ago, anyone remember a really close game between Florida State and Notre Dame that went down to the last play: a TD for Notre Dame that was called back for a pick play on the pass? The WR who picked? CJ Prosise.
I’m a big ND fan and I say this as a big fan and as hopeful for him: look at him the same as you did Ty Montgomery preseason and act accordingly. As a RB he’s playing somewhat out of position and especially so if he’s expected to carry more than a few times a game. A 3rd down pass catching back is his ideal role. I hope he proves me wrong and I’ll be the first rooting for him to do so.

This thread is making me consider cutting Cohen for Procise.

Dealt Tyrod for Prosise in a PPR dynasty a couple weeks ago (was my 3rd QB, other owner had a bye crunch), and picked up McKissic cheap with auction money...I'm confident that this pass-catching RB position on SEA will have value. If Prosise continues to get hurt, maybe it will be McKissic.

Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell believes in C.J. Prosise, thinks he can be an every-down back.
Boy that's really nice to hear from the guy who runs the O. If that ankle is truly 100% this could be a really good game for him as the Giants will have a fully healthy secondary this week.
EDIT: If you forgot, this is what he did when healthy last season. I had literally forgot about him since he's been so injured, I'm starting to drink the Kool-Aid on this guy. Starting him with Alex Collins.

Good... good... Game plan should be favorable for Graham and Prosise, would be better if Lacy and Rawls fail to impress.

Dude staph it. Why does he insist on coming back at apparently far less than 100%. Sit out and heal...

I have him but not starting him either. But I think he's going to put up good points tonight.

If this guy would stay healthy, he'd probably be good. If he'd stay hurt, McKissic would probably be good. Instead he keeps coming back, getting hurt, coming back, getting hurt, etc. Terrible.

For me, I've already conceded the fact that he's not going to be a starter. But the Seahawks are in a lot of tight games and seem to play a lot of catch up football. I'll take 5 catches for 65 yards and a handful of rushing yards. I know when he was healthy, he was scoring a lot of long touchdowns. I'd have to see him rip off a 40 yard gain before I could truly get excited for this guy again.

Absolutely worth a let round flyer in PPR leagues with bigger benches.

He has one career touchdown? Is that a lot?
Also of course you would take 80 receptions for 1,040 yards receiving (5 catches for 65 yards over 16 games) plus rushing yards - but good luck with that.
