Travis Homer - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Quiet in start Homer rushed nine times for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also caught two of three targets for eight yards.

Impact Homer started at tailback with both Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas sidelined with ankle injuries. However, Homer wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunity, struggling to find much room to run besides a long gain of 16 yards. Although the Seahawks face a quick turnaround ahead of Week 15's Thursday night contest versus the 49ers, Homer could return to a reserve role if Walker and/or Dallas are able to suit up.

Impact Homer will get a prime opportunity to produce with two of Seattle's top three running backs sidelined. On the season, he's averaged 4.8 YPC on his nine rushes and hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 124 yards and one touchdown, while Jones has just seven carries for 14 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 18 yards. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Sunday that Jones may start over Homer, but their respective stat lines and Schneider's comment would seem to indicate Homer is the best bet to post the most notable stat line among those available to this backfield Week 14.

Seahawks RB depth chart: Will Seattle start Travis Homer or Tony Jones Jr. after Kenneth Walker injury? The Seahawks are down to their fourth-string running back as a starter in Week 14. But who exactly is that?

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Could cede start to Tony Jones Adam Schefter said on ESPN's broadcast of "Fantasy Football Now" that he expects Tony Jones -- not Homer -- to draw the start at running back in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact The Seahawks list both Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) as questionable for the Week 14 contest, but neither is expected to play, which leaves Jones, Homer and practice-squad call-up Godwin Igwebuike as Seattle's available backfield options. Schefter expects all three backs to play in the contest, but Jones may garner the start even though Homer has routinely worked ahead of him in games when both backs have been available this season. Even if Schefter's prediction comes to pass, Homer could still end up being the more productive fantasy option of the trio -- particularly in PPR leagues -- since he's likely regarded as the most trusted back on passing downs, where he had routinely spelled Walker in previous weeks. The 5-foot-11, 224-pound Jones is more sturdily built and physically profiles as the better back on early downs, but even his hold on that role may be tenuous. After carrying seven times for just 14 yards in last week's win over the Rams, Jones is averaging just 2.7 yards on 66 career carries over three NFL seasons. Jones could have a short leash in the game plan if he's not able to get going early.

Should play more sans Walker, Dallas Homer is expected to step into a larger role on offense with fellow running backs Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) both listed as questionable but not expected to p...

Impact Homer was inactive for last week's 27-23 win over the Rams due to a knee sprain and an illness, but he's good to go for Sunday after practicing fully Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, Walker and Dallas weren't able to practice in any fashion this week due to the injuries they sustained in the win last Sunday, when Tony Jones (seven carries for 14 yards, two catches for 18 yards) finished the day as the team's lone healthy back. Jones, who had been a healthy inactive for the previous four games, should continue to have a role on offense, but given that Homer has consistently played ahead of him when healthy this season, Homer likely represents the more appealing fantasy option of the two. At the very least, Homer should rank as the preferred option on passing downs, given that he had served as the top change-of-pace option behind Walker when both were last available for the same game in Week 12. Through four NFL seasons, Homer has averaged a robust 5.8 yards per carry and 9.4 yards per reception.

Returns to full practice Homer (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact After sitting out Week 13 due to an illness and opening Week 14 prep with a limited session because of a knee sprain, Homer now is operating on all cylinders on the practice field. He seemingly is more than a step ahead of Kenneth Walker and DeeJay Dallas in their respective recoveries from ankle issues, as that duo has yet to take part in any drills this week. If one or both of Walker and Dallas end up limited or out Sunday versus the Panthers, Homer likely is the top candidate to get guaranteed reps out of the Seahawks backfield.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially limited Wednesday Homer (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer was capped to one limited session last week due to an illness, and while he went into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, the Seahawks downgraded him to out Saturday. On Monday, head coach Pete Carroll touched on Homer's injury, calling it a knee sprain, according to Boyle. With Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) unable to mix into drills Wednesday, Homer is the healthiest of the top three running backs on the active roster. Homer thus is in a good spot to get work Sunday against the Panthers if he's deemed healthy enough to play. If some combination of the three can't suit up this weekend, Tony Jones also is on the active roster, while Darwin Thompson, Godwin Igwebuike and Wayne Gallman are the candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Dealing with knee sprain Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Homer (illness) is dealing with a knee sprain, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer missed Sunday's win over the Rams due to an illness, but with Kenneth Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) now both also banged up, his status becomes more crucial heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Panthers. Carroll didn't allude to Homer's chances of being available versus Carolina, though he did note Walker hasn't been ruled out yet after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Out for Sunday Homer (illness/knee) has been downgraded to out and will not play in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Homer played just 13 offensive snaps last week in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but he totaled four touches (two carries, two receptions) during his time on the field, so this could be relevant for Seattle's backfield. Expect DeeJay Dallas and Tony Jones to operate in a backup tandem behind Kenneth Walker.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain for Sunday Homer (illness/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Kenneth Walker figures to continue dominating carries in any case, but Homer's absence would have some impact on Seattle's gameplan for third downs and the two-minute drill, with DeeJay Dallas perhaps not as good of a blocker. While he scored a touchdown in last week's overtime contest, Homer typically doesn't get many touches even when he logs a decent number of snaps.

Remains sidelined Thursday Homer (illness/knee) did not participate in the Seahawks' practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Homer missed his second practice in a row after popping up with an illness that is making the rounds in Seattle's locker room ahead of Week 13. The 24-year-old was one of eight Seahawks players to not practice due to the ailment, but he'll still have one more chance to improve his status before Friday's final injury report. With Tony Jones (illness) also sidelined Thursday, DeeJay Dallas could stand to see increased usage if he ends up as the only available running back behind starter Kenneth Walker.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice Wednesday Homer (illness/knee) was a non-participant during practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer played 34 total snaps during Sunday's loss to the Raiders, though he appears to have come down with an illness since this contest. While the nature of this ailment is still unclear, the running back will have two more practices to improve his status before taking on the Rams this Sunday. When healthy, Homer will likely continue to split playing time with DeeJay Dallas behind No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in overtime loss Homer rushed twice for eight yards and caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.

Impact Late in the fourth quarter, Homer scored on an 18-yard screen pass in which he broke multiple tackles en route to the end zone. He was quite effective with his opportunities, but the fourth-year pro handled just 13 offensive snaps while rookie Kenneth Walker played 46 snaps. Kenneth Walker recorded 39 yards and a touchdown on 15 touches. Homer is a flaky fantasy option, as he has totaled just 12 touches over the last five games.

No touches in loss Homer didn't record a carry or a target in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Homer recorded at least one touch in all five games that he suited up for prior to Week 10. However, the Seahawks mostly abandoned the run after falling behind to the Buccaneers early, and rookie Kenneth Walker proved to be an effective pass-catcher with six receptions for 55 yards in this contest. Going forward, Homer is simply an insurance option.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Snares three passes Homer rushed once for seven yards and caught all three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Once again, Homer operated as the clear No. 2 back behind rookie Kenneth Walker. Homer logged 20 offensive snaps while DeeJay Dallas was held to just two. A 2019 sixth-round pick, Homer continues to be efficient as a pass-catcher, as he has caught all eight of his targets for 79 yards this year.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Registers 31 total yards Homer rushed twice for 10 yards and caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants.

Impact Homer returned from injured reserve in Week 8 and immediately claimed the No. 2 role behind rookie Kenneth Walker, as Homer logged 14 offensive snaps (22 percent) while DeeJay Dallas handled five snaps. Walker will be the clearcut lead back as long as he's healthy. Homer is worth a roster spot in deeper leagues as a potential starter if Walker gets hurt.
