3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 3

Chris Carson, RB, Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $6,000

DraftKings Price: $4,900

Chris Carson is the shiny new toy in the Seattle Seahawks backfield, emerging as the lead back in Week 2. He rushed 20 times for 93 yards while catching 1-of-2 targets for 7 yards and notably out-snapped Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise by a wide margin. With Eddie Lacy not even active last week, this looks like Carson's backfield to lose now.

However, despite being affordable on both sites, and potentially having solid volume moving forward, this offense is difficult to trust right now. They currently rank 23rd on offense by our metrics, scoring their only touchdown on the San Francisco 49ers, who just allowed 41 points to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. With questionable offensive line play and a road date with the Tennessee Titans that's displaying a modest 42.5 over/under, this doesn't look like the spot for the Seahawks to suddenly right the ship.

Also, while Carson appears to have control of the backfield, he'll still cede passing work to Prosise, making him susceptible to negative game scripts. And you never know if Rawls will become another thorn in Carson's side given last week was his first game back from injury and he could still be working himself into game shape.
