Seahawks expect Alex Collins (abdomen) to play Week 14

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) is expected to return for Week 14 against Houston Texans, per head coach Pete Carroll.

What It Means:

"Alex will be ready to go I think next week,” Carroll said. β€œHe’s needed a week off for some time now, and this may help him down the stretch.” Collins missed Week 13 and Adrian Peterson led the Seahawks with 11 carries while Rashaad Penny rushed 10 times and Travis Homer had three totes. Collins' potential return would only further muddle Seattle's backfield committee.

numberFire's models currently project Collins to lead the Seahawks with 11.2 carries in Week 14, followed by Peterson (5.6) and Penny (4.5). The Texans have the No. 22 run defense in our season-long fantasy rankings.
