McIntosh failed to record a single offensive snap in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker back in the lineup after missing two weeks with an oblique injury, McIntosh's minimal role on offense dried up Monday. The 24-year-old running back, instead, played exclusively on special teams, logging 16 snaps in the contest. As Seattle's No. 3 back, McIntosh holds little to no fantasy value going forward. The Seahawks will host the Giants in Week 5.

McIntosh failed to record a single offensive snap in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker back in the lineup after missing two weeks with an oblique injury, McIntosh's minimal role on offense dried up Monday. The 24-year-old running back, instead, played exclusively on special teams, logging 16 snaps in the contest. As Seattle's No. 3 back, McIntosh holds little to no fantasy value going forward. The Seahawks will host the Giants in Week 5.
McIntosh rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins. McIntosh received the first regular-season touches of his career in the big win over Miami. He likely won't play much in close games going forward, especially if Kenneth Walker (oblique) returns in Week 5 versus the Lions.
McIntosh didn't record a touch in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots. Despite Kenneth Walker (oblique) being inactive, McIntosh didn't receive a touch and played just two offensive snaps, the first offensive snaps of his career. Considering the 2023 seventh-round pick barely played with Walker out, he likley won't have any fantasy upside as long as either Walker or Zach Charbonnet are healthy.
McIntosh didn't play on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos. No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker left in the fourth quarter with an abdominal injury, and Zach Charbonnet carried the entire backfield workload the rest of the game. Walker's status for the Week 2 matchup versus the Patriots is in flux as a result, and if he misses time, McIntosh should line up as the clear No. 2 back behind Charbonnet.
McIntosh rushed once for a 56-yard touchdown and secured his only target for a nine-yard gain in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night. The reserve running back recorded his only carry on the Seahawks' third possession, a drive he closed out with an impressive 56-yard scoring scamper off left guard. The touchdown run was the latest example of impressive play from McIntosh, who put together a strong preseason and appears to have the inside track to open the regular season as the No. 3 back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed).
McIntosh rushed the ball eight times for 46 yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans. He added two receptions (on two targets) for 17 yards. McIntosh is reportedly being pushed for the third spot on the depth chart by George Holani, though he got the better end of that competition Saturday. With Kenneth Walker resting and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed) unavailable, McIntosh got the first touch out of the backfield and also led the team in both attempts and rushing yards. In addition to the volume, McIntosh showed some impressive physicality and had a long gain of 12 yards on the ground while also tacking on a 10-yard reception.
McIntosh is competing with undrafted rookie George Holani for the No. 3 running back spot, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. McIntosh seemed like the front-runner for the role heading into the offseason, but Holani has stood out in preseason as a rusher and a blocker and could claim the job. Last season, Mcintosh didn't play an offensive snap as he was stuck behind Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas. The No. 3 role isn't expected to provide much fantasy utility as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy.
McIntosh (thumb) has the opportunity to compete with DeeJay Dallas for Seattle's third-down running back role this offseason, Nick Lee of Sports Illustrated reports. McIntosh dealt with a plethora of injuries during his rookie season, including a thumb issue that held him out of the Seahawks' 2023 season finale against the Cardinals, but it now seems as if he's back to full health. The 2023 third-round pick appeared in just three games last year, failing to record a single carry while playing 13 total snaps (all on special teams). Now that McIntosh is healthy ahead of Seattle's offseason programs, he's got a chance to become the Seahawks' primary third-down back, playing behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
McIntosh was moved off IR last weekend following a knee injury, though he didn't play Week 10 against Washington. The rookie appears to be past the knee issue since he came into this weekend without an injury designation, but he still won't make his NFL debut versus Los Angeles. McIntosh's next opportunity to play will come Thanksgiving Day against San Francisco.
