Michael (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at New England.

EDGE Analysis

A late addition to the injury report Friday, Michael will brush off a hamstring injury, but whether he receives the bulk of the touches afforded Seahawks running backs remains to be seen. Throwing a wrench into Michael's prospects is head coach Pete Carroll's assertion during the week that C.J. Prosise has earned more reps moving forward. A timeshare could very well come to pass against the Patriots' mid-tier run defense, which has allowed 101.6 yards per game this season.

Michael (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against New England despite being listed as questionable on the injury report, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

EDGE Analysis

Michael was added to the final injury report approximately two hours after it was first released, suggesting he was hurt in Friday's practice. Luckily it sounds like the injury won't keep him out of Sunday's game, but he may need to test the injury in pregame warmps. That scenario may post a problem for many fantasy owners with a 8:30 pm ET kickoff.

Michael was a late addition to Friday's injury report, with the Seahawks listing him as questionable for Sunday's game in New England after he was limited at Friday's practice, John Boyel of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Added to the final injury report approximately two hours after it was first released, Michael presumably hurt his hamstring at some point during Friday's practice. It's unclear if he kept practicing after he suffered the injury, as the Seahawks would deem him a limited participant either way. Given the poor timing and the team involved, there's no assurance of further clarity ahead of Sunday's 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If Michael can't go, C.J. Prosise and Alex Collins will take over in the backfield, with the former likely having a larger role.

Michael rushed five times for one yard and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Michael's five totes Monday marked the first time he was handed under double-digit carries this season, and his mere one yard was unsurprisingly his worst total as well. Although Michael salvaged some value with a three-yard touchdown run during the second quarter, which game him a seventh score on the whole of this season, his carries and yards have now declined for four straight games. Rookie C.J. Prosise cut into his workload with four touches Monday, and Thomas Rawls (fibula) could return in Week 11, so Michael's fantasy stock appears to be fading going into the second half of Seattle's schedule.

Michael gained 40 yards and scored a touchdown on 10 carries during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Saints. He also gained two yards while securing one of his two targets.

EDGE Analysis

Michael got off to a strong start and put his team up 11 with a two-yard score in the second quarter, but his workload waned as the game moved along and he ended up with his fewest touches of the season as well as his lowest yardage output. He has been the top dog in the backfield for Seattle and has been leaned upon while Russell Wilson continues to provide lackluster results due to his various physical maladies, but his stock would benefit if Wilson were able to turn things around. Michael should see his involvement increase next week versus Buffalo at home, where he has 236 yards and four touchdowns in three games this season.

Michael gained 52 yards on 16 carries and caught all three of his targets for another three yards in Sunday's 6-6 tie with the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the extra period to accumulate stats, Michael was stymied by a tough Arizona defense in a game that didn't have any touchdowns. Seattle didn't have much more luck through the air, with Russell Wilson completing 24 of 37 passes for 225 yards. C.J. Prosise handled most of the passing-down work in his first appearance since Week 1, catching two of three targets for 17 yards while also taking a lone carry for no gain. Michael still accounted for 19 of the team's 23 running back touches, leaving minimal concern regarding his workload in the absence of Thomas Rawls (ankle). With Rawls expected to miss at least another game or two, Michael should stay busy in a favorable Week 8 matchup at New Orleans.

Michael rushed 18 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns, and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Michael averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but made owners happy by scoring two touchdowns for the second time in three games. The Seahawks have been committed to running the football in close, resulting in plenty of touchdowns for their featured back. That trend should continue with quarterback Russell Wilson's mobility still limited due to a sprained MCL.

Michael gained 58 yards on 18 carries and caught five of six targets for 32 yards and with a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

With Thomas Rawls (ankle) inactive, Michael dominated the backfield touches, ceding only three carries to other runners and ranking second on the team in targets and receptions as well. Michael has averaged 89.5 total yards per game while reaching the end zone three times in the season's first four weeks, and he should carry a heavy load for as long as Rawls remains sidelined, despite the signing of C.J. Spiller earlier this week. Seattle will now enjoy a bye before hosting the Falcons in Week 6.

Michael carried the ball 20 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-18 win over the 49ers. He also caught two of three targets for five yards.

EDGE Analysis

Michael got the start with Thomas Rawls (shin) inactive, and he took advantage right away, coming up with a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter. For some reason, however, the Seahawks went away from him a bit after the opening quarter, despite the fact that Russell Wilson hurt his ankle in the third period. Michael likely would have seen more work in the fourth quarter, but the lopsided score allowed him to rest on the bench. Through three weeks, Michael has been a bright spot for Seattle, which has really struggled offensively, other than Sunday's blowout victory. The explosive young running back has probably earned a bigger share of the rushing pie, even when Rawls is healthier, but next week's matchup against the Jets' stout rush defense will represent a major test.

Michael will start at running back in Sunday's contest against the 49ers with Thomas Rawls on the Seahawks' inactive list.

EDGE Analysis

Although Rawls (lower leg) was trending toward inactive status, he'll officially yield the top spot in Seattle's running back group to Michael for one game. Michael's preseason prowess has extended into the regular season, as he's averaging a robust 5.0 YPC on his 25 rushes through two games.
