I am able to hold him on my taxi squad for the year. I wasn't initially thrilled with the pick in the fourth round of my rookie draft but I feel with the scenario you described along with news of having a positive camp, maybe there is something here.
Still a bit early in redraft I think unless your rosters are really deep. I’m starting to get excited for his pending opportunity though in dynasty for the reasons you listed.

Don't forget about Penny coming off the PUP potentially. But I own both in dynasty and am excited for one of them to become relevant.

Dallas has a tough path ahead of him for fantasy relevance this year with a crowded backfield. But next year could be different if Carson is signed away - Hyde is on a one-year deal and probably won't be a factor either way. As mentioned above, Penny is the wildcard here depending on how he looks post-recovery.

Dallas is better suited for a team like San Fran, I watched him a lot at UM, very explosive player I felt never got to touch the ball enough.

They did take him in the 4th round this year - not exactly a low pick these days for RBs - so they must have some plan in mind for him in the future. Whether that's a potential replacement for Carson, a situational role, or an ace special teams guy remains to be seen.
Of course, they also drafted him when Carson was still on the mend and Penny was assuredly out for the first half of the season, so who knows.

Agreed. He's got to get that fixed up before he gets any more playing time (other than out of necessity). He does look good with the ball in his hands though in the limited opportunities he's had it.
This is a tough spot for waiver setting tonight.
Currently have Hyde my #1 but that could change if new info becomes available.
And even if more info comes out that it's likely that Hyde is out is D. Dallas really going to be startable? Or will Wilson just throw the ball 60 times?
Whole situation could be just an avoid if Carson is to miss a week only.

As we all know, volume is king in fantasy football. So with that in mind, is anyone rolling with DeeJay Dallas this week?
Between injuries and byes, I have very few options at my flex.
Reports now are suggesting Travis Homer is going to be available despite a knee contusion, but it looks like both Carson and Hyde will not be.
I see a lot of people saying Homer is the play if he's not ruled out, but I've also noticed that Homer has not practiced at all this week while DeeJay Dallas is taking all first team reps.
Anyone wanna gamble and say Dallas is going to be the workhorse while Homer is an emergency backup?

If Dallas is the only healthy running back in the game for Seattle, are you suggesting that they will simply not run the ball more than 10 times then?
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Dallas has somehow emerged as an amazing option, he is simply the last man standing. As such, he very well may be given the opportunity.
The Seahawks are averaging ~25 carries a game. If Carson, Hyde and Homer can't take ~15 of those, who gets them?

In the Seahawks’ backfield, while Carroll said “Homer’s coming back” in reference to No. 3 running back Travis Homer, starter Chris Carson (foot sprain) and backup Carlos Hyde (hamstring strain) are at risk of sitting out against San Francisco.
“We’re going to have to see how Chris’ foot is. We’re going all the way to game day on that one. It looks like Carlos (Hyde) has got a hamstring that might keep him from getting in there. So we’ve got some issues,” Carroll said.
I added Homer this AM

I honestly know next to nothing about either back. Both are 5’10” and 205 to 215 range. Is homer more of a scat / third down back? I’m debating between homer and white as my RB2..... i know, disgusting options but DJ on bye and Chubb on IR is no bueno. Also have the Buffalo backfield tandem of Devin and Moss but the bills run game is nonexistent currently.

Other than TDs, box score a bit meh. How did he look?
He was not much to see but serviceable but in fantasy if your the starting RB for Seatlle and they really have no other backs active hes a must start. Difference between reality and fantasy. He's a backup at best reality, but easily double digits in fantasy. But if Carson or Hyde are back he's dropable .

Agree, I picked him up preemptively last week but probably missed the one shot at actually starting him unless Carson/Hyde both miss another game. As far as rushing to waivers to get him.... if you have deep benches, go for it, but I wouldn't necessarily expect another repeat performance unless the stars are aligned again.

Agreed - he's going back to bench when one or both of Hyde or Carson return. I'm more interested in him dynasty-wise - seems like he can catch the ball well, but not sure about his running ability. He did get a lot of pre-season buzz and Carson and Hyde may not be around next year. If the big issue is his blocking liability, that can be coached up.
Tough to gauge off this game against the SF defense.

Not great but the niners D is solid, liked seeing him catch a few balls out of the backfield. If I were seattle I'd play him over Hyde to see what we have here.
He looked quick before this week but I think he seemed to not have great foot speed.

While he had a productive fantasy day with 2 TDs, he looked incredibly mediocre.
He never got more yardage than was blocked, didn't display great vision, and wasn't able to make anyone miss. Like last week where he whiffed on a pass block that got Wilson hit, it appears he missed on a run call and went to pass block instead on the goal line.
He had 41 yards on 18 rushes and 17 yards on 5 receptions, so 23 touches and 59 yards. That accurately sums up how he looked.

I can live with middling results and as a rookie, I'll give some leeway for first start jitters as an overall performance and yes that goalie play was rough. I don't think he had good foot speed but he's still worth an add for volume because even banged up the niners D was still tough coming into that game

I didn't get that impression. Seems to me that Travis Homer is good to go, and Carson actually has a decent shot, too.
