SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #71   
Overall: #324


Washington got a few more carries than his first season with the Seahawks but still was more of a factor on special teams than anything. He carried the ball 53 times for 248 yards. Washington did make some big plays as a runner, averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per carry. He has gotten few chances as a receiver with the Seahawks, catching 19 passes the last two seasons. Washington has three return touchdowns in the last two seasons. Washington makes things happen with the ball in his hands. He has great moves and is tough to bring down in the open field. Washington has quick feet and good strength for his size. He can be an effective third-down or change of pace back (three seasons with 25-plus receptions), but likely will continue to be used on special teams more than anything. He has topped 500-rushing yards just twice.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Unless you are in a league that rewards return yardage, Washington really isn't worth a draft pick. He might get 200 or 300 total yards and a score or two but that is about it. His worth is as a return man.
Seattle Seahawks RB Leon Washington carried seven times for 78 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he added two receptions for 12 yards. The 78 yards was easily a season best, as he had managed just 170 yards on the ground entering play. It was also his first rushing TD since Dec. 26, 2010, in Week 16 last season.

The Seattle Seahawks look like they plan to use RB Leon Washington in a scat-back role on third downs this season.

The Seattle Seahawks are giving RB Leon Washington a healthy dose of carries in the preseason to see how he fits into their running game this year. RB Marshawn Lynch is expected to be the team's workhorse at tailback, but they want to do their best in the preseason to see how Washington fits in. Washington will once again have a big role on special teams this year. 'We're just going to continue to play him back into his playing form. We love him. We love what he does, but think he just needs reps in this zone scheme that we're running and so he can show us where he's special and unique in our stuff. It's just going to be a matter of time,' head coach Pete Carroll said. How his role will impact that of backup RB Justin Forsett has to be determined. Carroll noted the team has total confidence in Forsett.
Fantasy Impact: We still aren't convinced Washington will get many touches offensively. He is a special teams player more than anything.

Seattle Seahawks RB Leon Washington had eight carries for 23 yards and one touchdown Thursday, Aug. 11, against the San Diego Chargers in preseason play. Washington also caught three passes for 11 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Don't expect him to get that many touches during the regular season.

Seattle Seahawks RB Leon Washington has been a standout in training camp. He made several plays in the running and pass game Tuesday, Aug. 9, at practice, and he also had a big block. Head coach Pete Carroll said Washington will continue to return kicks and punts.
Fantasy Impact: Washington isn't a big enough part of the offense to be worth considering for fantasy teams.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with RB Leon Washington on a new four-year contract worth $12.5 million, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal could be worth as much as $16 million with escalators.
Fantasy Impact: He'll get most of his work on special teams as he barely saw the ball offensively his first season with the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks likely will look to re-sign impending free-agent RB Leon Washington this offseason, but Washington may look for an opportunity to be more involved in an offense, reports Eric Williams, of The Tacoma News Tribune.

The Chicago Bears are undecided about kicking to Seattle Seahawks RB Leon Washington in their playoff matchup, according to Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has said he will kick to Bears WR Devin Hester. 'It's going to be a challenge. We've got to decide if we want to kick to him,' Bears special teams coach Dave Toub said. 'The tables are turned this week.' Washington had three kickoff returns for 75 yards in the first meeting between the teams, including a 42-yarder.

Seattle Seahawks RB Leon Washington returned kickoffs 99 yards and 101 yards for touchdowns in Week 3, reports The Associated Press. He is the 10th player in NFL history to return two kickoffs for touchdowns.

The Seattle Seahawks did not have much of a running game during Week 1, managing just 77 yards on the ground, reports Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times. The majority of that came after the game was in hand late, as the Seahawks had just 10 yards rushing five minutes into the second half. RB Leon Washington said it is tough to put the blame on one specific area, saying sometimes the backs have missed their reads, other the offensive line, receivers and tight ends haven't done their job the best they could. He noted they have to collectively do their jobs in order for the team to have a good running game.
Fantasy Impact: The Seahawks running game is something to avoid for fantasy teams right now.
