Robert Turbin rushed seven times for 19 yards in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the Panthers.
Turbin stole a couple early-down carries from Marshawn Lynch and got the rock in a few clock-killing situations. It's become a recurring theme, as he now has at least four carries in 10 straight games and is averaging 8.2 in his last four. Expect another 4-6 carries for Turbin in next week's NFC Championship Game against either Green Bay or Dallas. Jan 10 - 11:36 PM

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed for 49 yards on 10 carries in the Seahawks' Week 17 win over the Rams.

He added one catch for 13 yards. Turbin got some early work with Marshawn Lynch appearing to get loose on the sideline. He's now rushed 10 times in back-to-back weeks. Lynch will get two weeks of much-needed rest with the Seahawks earning a first-round bye for the playoffs. Turbin will be his COP back.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed 10 times for 38 yards in Week 16 against the Cardinals.

Turbin started and got the majority of work in the first quarter with Marshawn Lynch sidelined. He finished with 10 touches, with Christine Michael also mixing in. Turbin will be just a change of pace behind Lynch in Week 17.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed four times for seven yards in the Seahawks' Week 14 win over the Eagles, adding a 14-yard catch.

Turbin split work with Christine Michael behind Marshawn Lynch. 5-6 touches remain Turbin's weekly ceiling.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin caught 2 passes for 47 yards and a touchdown Week 13 against the 49ers.

He added eight yards on four carries on the ground. Turbin snuck out of the backfield unnoticed by the 49ers defense for the touchdown and found room on a screen pass for a 34-yard gain in the second quarter. Despite the decent day, Turbin is nothing more than a handcuff for Marshawn Lynch.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed four times for 12 yards in Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cardinals.

When Marshawn Lynch was getting his back stretched out in the first quarter, Turbin functioned as an every-down back. He's clearly ahead of Christine Michael and needs to be owned as a handcuff right now given Lynch's repeated problems. The Seahawks are on a short week as the play at San Francisco on Thursday night.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed six times for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Giants.

Turbin got a first-half series to himself and mixed in plenty early, but then the Beast was unleashed. Marshawn Lynch put a 21-140-4 line on the Giants, proving he's healthy and that he should be getting the vast majority of carries. Turbin and Christine Michael are just handcuffs that would share the load if Lynch went down.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin gained 35 yards on five carries and caught a 14-yard pass in the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Raiders.

Behind Marshawn Lynch (26 touches), Turbin mixed in for six touches and Christine Michael handled four carries, gaining 16 yards. Turbin is the slightly preferred handcuff to Lynch because he would likely "start" games and play on almost all passing downs, but Michael offers a higher ceiling based on his explosive skill level. Turbin is just an RB5 stash in 14-team leagues.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed two times for 10 yards and caught three passes for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 8 win at Carolina.

Turbin was the first-team fullback again thanks to Derrick Coleman's injury. If Marshawn Lynch were to go down, he'd form a committee with Christine Michael (four touches Sunday).

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin (shoulder) is listed as probable for Week 8.

Turbin was limited this week with a minor shoulder injury. He'll start at fullback with Derrick Coleman sidelined. Christine Michael will be active for the second straight week.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed two times for 10 yards in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Cowboys.

Turbin was not targeted in the pass game. He remains ahead of Christine Michael, but is just a handcuff. Marshawn Lynch's back was not an issue Sunday.
Sun, Oct 12, 2014 07:49:00 PM
Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed for 19 yards on five carries in the Seahawks' Week 5 win over the Redskins.

Turbin got the "start" in this one and handled all of the backfield reps on the opening drive because Marshawn Lynch was unable to get his back loosened up. Lynch returned on the second series, and Turbin wasn't needed much thereafter. Turbin won't be fantasy relevant unless Lynch suffers an injury.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed two times for one yard and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's Week 3 overtime win over the Broncos.

Christine Michael was a healthy scratch. Turbin heads into the bye as the primary backup, but we suspect Michael would get a large piece of the pie of Lynch were to go down. Turbin has just 10 carries and three catches through three games.

Robert Turbin - RB - Seahawks

Robert Turbin rushed two times for seven yards in the Seahawks' Week 2 loss to the Chargers, adding two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown.

Turbin's receiving yards were tied for second on the Seahawks on a day where they were limited to 17:45 time of possession. Marshawn Lynch's backup remains a pure handcuff for fantasy purposes.
