We know as much as they do and maybe more about players we follow closely. This is what I have learned. I didn't use their rankings this week or all year. I love and die by my own lineup decisions and I take sp threads more into account than bloom or Dodds. I don't even know why I pay for an FBG acct. lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It makes him an unrestricted free agent. Michael finished fast after reuniting with Seattle down the stretch last season, operating as the team's lead runner into the playoffs. The lowest possible tender would have cost the Seahawks just $1.671 million. Perhaps he will return on a cheaper contract. Mar 9 - 4:54 PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moonshine 427 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Quote Sheil KapadiaESPN Writer The Seahawks have re-signed RB Christine Michael, the team announced. Michael, 25, played three games with the team at the end of last season, rushing 39 times for 192 yards (4.9 YPC). He will offer depth behind Thomas Rawls, who is in line to be the primary ball-carrier. The CMike dream lives on in Seattle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Octopus 15,699 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Quote Seahawks re-signed RB Christine Michael. The Seahawks didn't tender Michael as a restricted free agent, but have brought him back for cheaper than the $1.67 million that would have entailed. Michael finally had a productive stretch late last season, carrying the ball at least 16 times in three of the Seahawks' final five games (including the playoffs). Thomas Rawls will likely be the lead back of the post-Marshawn Lynch era, but Michael should have the inside track to a spot on the 53-man roster. Michael has averaged 4.68 yards across his 106 career carries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,012 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Christine Michael has been getting the first-team work at running back with Thomas Rawls (ankle) sidelined at OTAs. It's expected, but noteworthy. Rawls is still rehabbing a badly broken ankle from late last season, and the Seahawks are hanging on "hope" that he'll be ready Week 1. We've seen over and over again how running back is an ever-changing landscape in the league, with not many guaranteed anything. If C-Mike can build on his productive end to 2015 with a strong summer, he could make noise. Source: ESPN.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,012 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 ESPN Seahawks reporter Sheil Kapadia believes Christine Michael could be on the roster bubble. As has been the case his entire career, Michael probably has the widest range of outcomes among running backs this season. With Thomas Rawls' (ankle) status completely up in the air, it is not out of the question Michael opens the season as the starter after showing well down the stretch last year. It is also not crazy to think he loses his roster spot to the three rookies Seattle added in the draft. Ultimately, we would expect Michael to stick around and have a role, but it is not a given.

Faust 5,012 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Quote Seahawks RB Christine Michael says he's dropped eight pounds to get down to 217, and "feels a lot quicker." Might Michael finally be getting serious about the game? With his roster spot far from assured, Michael seems to realize he can't cut any corners this season. The Dynasty-league legend is fighting for a role in a backfield that already has three roster locks, Thomas Rawls, C.J. Prosise and Alex Collins. Rawls' (ankle) will play a factor.

Faust 5,012 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Quote Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell indicated Christine Michael's maturity has improved. Bevell went so far as to praise Michael's leadership skills, calling him "kind of the leader in the (running back) group now." With Thomas Rawls (ankle) on active/PUP, Michael is soaking up first-team reps ahead of C.J. Prosise, Alex Collins, and Zac Brooks. Michael is still not a lock to make the roster, but he should have a spot if he keeps his head on straight on and off the field. Source: Liz Mathews on Twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,012 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Quote Speaking Thursday, coach Pete Carroll said Christine Michael is "doing a great job," and has been "on the money throughout (camp)." The legend rides again. In reality, all Carroll's comments really mean is that Michael is on track for a roster spot. We still wouldn't consider it a guarantee on a roster flush with young runners. The Seahawks have insisted Thomas Rawls will be fully recovered from his severe ankle injury by Week 1. If he's not, Michael could be called on to bang between the tackles. Fifth-rounder Alex Collins is the other option, while C.J. Prosise is nursing a bum hammy. Source: Liz Mathews on Twitter Aug 4 - 6:46 PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socrates 566 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I get the sense many are overlooking Christine Michael. Michael is worth a spot on deep fantasy rosters with Rawls still sidelined. CMIke could be the next man up, although he will be on a very short leash with talented rookies behind him. Don't let the bad taste left in your mouth from previous CMike disapoointments cause you to overlook the fact that he is running with the first team offense, Rawls is sidelined, and coaches are praising CMike's dedication and leadership. Another benefit here is, we will know pretty quickly whether Michael has value, and if not, cut bait and grab someone from the ww. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For dynasty purposes if he's on the wire, I'm going after him rather aggressively. He is(was) rostered in most my leagues already and I have found that owners would rather hold on to him than give him up for fair value. I think he has a chance to be a good short term option, and I feel much better about him as a late round pick in redraft than investing anything other than BB$ on him in dynasty.
