Three carries in SNF win Homer registered 14 rushing yards on three carries during Sunday night's 27-26 win against the Vikings.

Impact The 22-year-old sits just one carry behind Carlos Hyde (shoulder) for second on the team in RB rush attempts this season, handling seven carries the past two weeks with Hyde recuperating from injury. Chris Carson continues to lead Seattle's backfield with his 61 attempts, but in an offense conducted by MVP front-runner Russell Wilson, scoring opportunities present themselves more often than they typically might for other teams' peripheral contributors. Homer logged his first score of 2020 during Week 4 on a three-yard TD reception when the Seahawks put up 31 points against the Dolphins.

Scores first receiving TD Homer rushed four times for five yards and caught his lone target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Homer was in line for a heightened workload if Chris Carson (knee) sat out, but not only did Carson play, he showed no remnants of an injury. As a result, Homer played just 17 of 63 offensive snaps (27 percent), and rookie DeeJay Dallas nearly tied him in touches with two carries and two receptions for 23 total yards. Homer did come through with a score, but Dallas was arguably more effective during Sunday's contest. It's a small sample for the two backs, however, and both will likely be pushed to reserve roles if Carlos Hyde (shoulder) plays Week 5 against the Vikings.

Could handle more reps Homer could be in line for more volume following news that Carson suffered a first-degree knee sprain in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Carson went down with a fractured hip Week 16 last year, making Homer the de facto No. 1 RB until the team signed Marshawn Lynch for a postseason push. Homer was quite effective in place of Carson, especially as a pass catcher, reeling in 14 of 17 passes for 88 yards over four games, including the postseason. He was a bit inconsistent on the ground, but he's been more dependable this year, recording 39 yards on eight carries (4.9 YPC). Considering Homer and Carlos Hyde both recorded 16 offensive snaps Week 3, Carroll could determine the lead back Week 4 versus the Dolphins with a "hot hand" approach, a position he's been fond of in the past. Homer has a competitive advantage with his pass-catching ability -- Hyde caught just 10 passes over 16 games in 2019 -- and his speed (4.48-second 40), but he's about 27 pounds lighter than Hyde. That could make Hyde a better goal-line back if this shapes up as a timeshare, but Homer may get a majority of the work on passing downs.

Rushes for 21 yards Homer recorded 21 yards on three carries in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.

Impact All three of Homer's carries went for five or more yards, but he was still the clear No. 3 back behind Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde. Nevertheless, Homer is holding off rookie DeeJay Dallas by virtue of his special-teams abilities, as he averaged 29.7 yards per kick return, including a 44-yard return in the second quarter.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production in win Homer recorded minus-1 yard on three carries in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons. He also caught both targets for four yards.

Impact Homer holds the edge over rookie fourth-rounder DeeJay Dallas by virtue of his special-teams abilities, as WR Tyler Lockett has been bumped off and Homer was the primary kick returner Sunday. However, his production on offense was disappointing, albeit in a small sample, so he'll look to rebound in Week 2 when the Patriots come to town.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back to full health Homer (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report and is expected to suit up in Sunday's game versus the Falcons, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer missed a handful of practices toward the end of training camp, but he's healthy and ready for his second NFL season. He is lined up as the No. 3 RB behind Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde to begin the season, although rookie DeeJay Dallas could be in the mix as well. Hyde is likely the main beneficiary if Carson's reps are limited after recovering the fractured hip that ended his 2019 season, but Homer would likely factor into that scenario as well.

Back at practice Tuesday Homer (undisclosed) participated in practice Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Just two days removed from sitting out Sunday, Homer rejoined his backfield mates, at least the healthy bodies in Chris Carson and DeeJay Dallas. Homer himself may be limited, so it's difficult to say whether he can make inroads on the injured Carlos Hyde, who also is dealing with an unknown injury at the moment.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Sunday Homer (undisclosed) was held out of Sunday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Homer and Carlos Hyde were both unable to practice Sunday, leaving DeeJay Dallas and Patrick Carr as the only available options behind top running back Chris Carson. Barring injury, the 2019 sixth-round pick looks to be in the mix for the No. 3 backfield gig.

AUGUST 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for backup role Homer is on track to open the season as Seattle's No. 3 running back, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact A sixth-round pick last year, Homer primarily played special teams until Rashaad Penny (knee) and Chris Carson (hip) suffered season-ending injuries. The rookie then took 15 carries for 78 yards and 11 catches for 56 yards over the final two weeks of the regular season, but he was limited to 57 yards on 17 touches in two playoff games. With Penny likely headed for the PUP list while Carson and Carlos Hyde (shoulder) are expected to be ready for the start of the season, Homer figures to compete for the No. 3 job with college teammate DeeJay Dallas, a rookie fourth-round pick. Dallas is bigger and probably more powerful, but Homer seems to have the edge in terms of speed, experience, receiving skill and pass-blocking skill. Those qualities probably make Homer the better fit in a backfield with Carson and Hyde, whereas another big back like Dallas feels redundant.
