Carson is the favorite to start Week 1 after Rashaad Penny suffered a broken finger, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Carson started camp as the top running back, but a solid preseason from Penny could have shaken things up. The rookie first-round pick will instead be out for at least a few weeks, making it rather difficult for him to steal Carson's spot atop the depth chart. This significantly lifts Carson's fantasy stock, though his NFL regular-season film is still limited to just four games last season. In that span, he recorded 49 carries for 208 yards and zero touchdowns while catching seven passes for 59 yards and one score.
