Week 12 Projection: Standard: 16/PPR: 17. RB. Seattle Seahawks. Thomas Rawls. 5. player. 36
Start ‘Em #1
Seahawk backup running back Thomas Rawls had the game of his life Week 11 in relief of the injured Marshawn Lynch. He ran the rock 30 times for over 200 yards and 1 touchdown. He also had a receiving touchdown on 46 receiving yards.
Rawls showed that he is very capable of being a runner on the NFL level. He will be the starter for the Seahawks until Lynch gets back, which sounds like it could be awhile. He will be the bell-cow back for the Seattle offense, and should be able to continue his hot start in a matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers and Seahawks should be in a tight game, as playoff implications are obviously on the line, so I see the Seahawks relying heavily on Rawls for a majority of the game.
Don’t be surpised if you see him getting about 25 carries, and possibly more depending on how the game goes. Regardless, Rawls is a definite start in all fantasy leagues, and should be considered a low-end #1 fantasy back for Week 12.
