TRAVIS HOMER NEWS

Minimal usage is loss Homer didn't record a touch in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Impact Homer missed the full week of practice due to the league's COVID-19 protocol, which may be an explanation for why he only handled four offensive snaps despite Alex Collins being a healthy scratch. Rashaad Penny looks like the obvious No. 1 back for the rest of the season, and Homer will compete with DeeJay Dallas for the remaining reps. Neither player should be considered a stable fantasy option.

Activated from COVID-19 list Homer was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

Impact Homer's return could take some snaps/touches away from DeeJay Dallas, the other back Seattle has used on passing downs this year. Homer has 14 carries and 17 targets in 11 games, with his most impactful play being a 73-yard TD on a fake punt.

Rams, Seahawks thin on inactives for COVID-affected showdown

The Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks had only six combined inactive players for their NFC West showdown thanks to two rosters depleted by COVID-19

Not available Week 15 Homer (illness) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Homer won't be available to play two days after he reportedly tested positive for the virus, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Since Henderson notes that Homer is vaccinated, he'll be eligible to return to the Seahawks' team facility as soon as he's deemed to be asymptomatic or until he tests negative on two consecutive occasions 24 hours apart. With Homer sidelined Tuesday, DeeJay Dallas is expected to serve as the Seahawks' top change-of-pace option behind starter Rashaad Penny.

Goes to COVID-19 list The Seahawks placed Homer (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact With the Seahawks' Week 15 game pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday due to COVID-19 concerns within their opponents, the Rams, Seattle now has an ever growing list as the matchup draws closer. Homer joins position mate Alex Collins (abdomen/illness) on the reserve list, which leaves Rashaad Penny, DeeJay Dallas and practice squad member Adrian Peterson (lower back) as the team's current and likely healthy running backs on the roster.

Back to full practice Homer (hamstring/calf) logged a full practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Homer has been sidelined two of the past three games due to injury, but head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism Monday that the running back would be available Week 15 against the Rams, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. With a full practice behind him, Homer joins Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas as healthy running backs on the active roster, while Alex Collins (abdomen) was limited during Wednesday's session. Penny has taken over the lead role out of the Seahawks backfield after a 138-yard, two-touchdown performance this past Sunday in Houston, so Homer will have to contend with Collins, Dallas and potentially Adrian Peterson (lower back) for reps moving forward.

'Hopeful' for Week 15 Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he's "hopeful" that Homer (calf/hamstring) will be back Sunday versus the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Carroll is notoriously optimistic about his players getting back on the field. We'll need to see him on the practice field in some fashion Wednesday to feel truly hopeful that he can play Sunday. His role on offense will likely be limited regardless, as he's coming off soft-tissue injuries, Rashaad Penny appears to be the starter for now and Alex Collins is healthy as the No. 2 option. Homer should contribute on special teams and on clear passing downs if he can play.

Not playing Sunday Homer (calf/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Houston, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Homer didn't get on the field at all Thursday and subsequently will miss his second contest of the season. He hasn't received much work anyway when available, with just 19 touches and 131 offensive snaps in 11 games. With Homer out, Alex Collins, Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas will man the Seahawks backfield Week 14.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at practice Wednesday Homer (calf/hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact With Alex Collins (abdomen) out of the lineup this past Sunday against the 49ers, Homer earned his second largest workload in a game this season (30 percent). Homer took advantage of the opportunity and ripped off a career-long 73-yard touchdown from a direct snap on a fake punt. That play aside, he managed 11 total yards on six more touches, playing alongside Rashaad Penny (40 percent, 11 touches) and Adrian Peterson (27 percent, 11 carries). Both Collins and Homer have practice limitations this week, so the Seahawks backfield again has some question marks as the team prepares for a Week 14 visit to Houston.

Scores on fake punt Homer rushed three times for 80 yards and a touchdown and caught four of five targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

Impact After failing to get a first down on the opening drive, the Seahawks ran a fake punt where Homer took a direct snap and ran 73 yards to the house. The third-year running back showed off his speed and open-field awareness in the process. Homer also recorded a 30 percent snap share, finishing ahead of Adrian Peterson (27 percent) but behind Rashaad Penny (40 percent). Even with the explosive play. Homer's rest-of-season outlook isn't fantasy relevant. He'll likely lose snaps next week with Alex Collins (abdomen) expected back.
