Robert Turbin rushed nine times for 34 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win over the Giants, catching one pass for one yard.
Turbin saw a slight uptick in change-of-pace carries because the Giants blew out the Seahawks. Turbin is a weak handcuff for Marshawn Lynch owners.

Robert Turbin rushed twice for 12 yards in Seattle's Week 14 loss to the 49ers.
Turbin wasn't targeted in the passing game. The carries were Turbin's fewest in eight games. Turbin could see an uptick in touches as the Seahawks look to start getting Marshawn Lynch some rest in Weeks 16 and 17, but there's no reason to own him in re-draft leagues.

Robert Turbin rushed for 34 yards on 11 carries in Week 13 versus New Orleans.
The 11 totes are the most Turbin has seen in a game this season; his previous high was eight. Marshawn Lynch rested for most of the fourth quarter with the Seahawks up 34-7, allowing Turbin to soak up some reps. After 12 games, the second-year back is on pace to rush for just 273 scoreless yards on 78 carries. He received more work as a rookie. Turbin isn't on the re-draft radar.

Robert Turbin rushed four times for 14 yards in the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the Colts.
He worked as the change-of-pace back behind Marshawn Lynch, who had 107 total yards on 18 touches. Turbin has limited fantasy value because Christine Michael would be the favorite for carries if Lynch ever suffered an injury.

Robert Turbin rushed six times for 31 yards in Week 2 against the 49ers.
Turbin was the clear-cut backup to Marshawn Lynch with Christine Michael a healthy inactive. He was used in a change-of-pace role, but saw limited offensive snaps. Turbin is the preferred handcuff to Lynch, but doesn't have much standalone fantasy value.

Robert Turbin operated as the Seahawks' No. 2 running back in the Week 1 opener against the Panthers, totaling 30 yards on five touches.
Rookie Christine Michael didn't even see the field. Turbin didn't shine in preseason action, but the Seahawks trust him. Michael will get a chance to overtake Turbin at some point. Turbin is the clear backup to Marshawn Lynch for now.
