The Seattle Seahawks announced Friday (h/t NFL Network's Ian Rapoport) that veteran running back Chris Carson was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury.
The 27-year-old missed Seattle's Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Rams due to the injury and will now miss at least the next three games. He's eligible to return November 14 against the Green Bay Packers.
With Carson sidelined, veteran Alex Collins is expected to be Seattle's lead running back on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks also have DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer available.
With that in mind, here's a look at the top waiver-wire running back options for fantasy managers.
