Dallas drew in as the No. 2 running back behind rookie Zach Charbonnet because Kenneth Walker (oblique) was inactive. However, Charbonnet drew a workhorse assignment while Dallas recorded just eight offensive snaps. It's unclear if Walker will be ready for the Week 13 matchup versus the Cowboys, but regardless, Dallas won't have much fantasy utility.
Dallas played his first offensive snaps since Week 7 because Kenneth Walker left in the first half with an oblique injury. Rookie Zach Charbonnet was the clear workhorse following Walker's injury, turning 15 carries into 47 yards and catching all six of his targets for 22 yards. It sounds like Walker is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's matchup against the 49ers, and if he does sit out, Dallas will factor in as the No. 2 running back behind Charbonnet again.
Dallas was a limited participant during practice Week 10 as he tended to a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old will now be ready to play his ninth game for the Seahawks this season, though he's largely been invisible on offense during the team's previous eight contests. Expect Dallas to contribute primarily on special teams while adding depth behind running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
Carroll also stated the team will take a wait-and-see approach in regards to the injury as the week progresses, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. Dallas saw 13 special teams snaps (50 percent) prior to exiting Sunday's loss to the Ravens.
The running back needed trainer assistance to get off the field after a punt, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Dallas returned two punts for nine yards before exiting. The fourth-year pro has played more on special teams than on offense in 2023.
Dallas lost his kick-return duties in Week 8 with Dee Eskridge returning to the lineup. He has averaged 12.7 yards per punt return this season, which ranks fourth in the league for players with more than 10 returns. He should stay in the lineup but his fantasy utility will be negligible as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy.
