3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 4

Chris Carson Will Be a Top-5 Running Back

Why This Is Bold: Chris Carson is currently outside the top-12 at his position and has amassed just five targets all season.

Why This Will Happen: Carson has already dominated the backfield snaps in Seattle -- he played 66 percent of snaps in Week 3, ceding usage to only C.J. Prosise in the passing game. But Prosise, whose seen 11 targets over the last two weeks, will likely miss Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, leaving the door open for Carson to get additional work through the air.

Indianapolis ranks 19th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, so they're far from an imposing matchup on the ground. In a game Seattle should be leading -- they're currently favored to win by 13 points -- Carson could be one of the week's top plays at running back.
