Michael gained 40 yards and scored a touchdown on 10 carries during Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Saints. He also gained two yards while securing one of his two targets.
Michael got off to a strong start and put his team up 11 with a two-yard score in the second quarter, but his workload waned as the game moved along and he ended up with his fewest touches of the season as well as his lowest yardage output. He has been the top dog in the backfield for Seattle and has been leaned upon while Russell Wilson continues to provide lackluster results due to his various physical maladies, but his stock would benefit if Wilson were able to turn things around. Michael should see his involvement increase next week versus Buffalo at home, where he has 236 yards and four touchdowns in three games this season.
