With six catches at Carolina last week, Falcons running back Jacquizz Rodgers showed he has something to contribute in Fantasy even with starter Steven Jackson back from a hamstring injury. But in Week 10, he probably won't be the one to benefit from a Seahawks defense that has gotten burned on the ground the last couple games, giving up 200-plus yards in each.
Other than getting the occasional change-of-pace carry, Rodgers' role appears to be limited to obvious passing situations, where he serves as a dump-off option for quarterback Matt Ryan. In two games with Jackson back, he has gotten just seven carries for 27 yards.
Ryan has thrown multiple interceptions the last two weeks, putting his team in a hole, and if he does the same against a Seahawks defense that is tied for the league lead with 13 interceptions, Rodgers should have an opportunity to catch some passes out of the backfield.
But if the game remains close or the Falcons have a lead of some kind, he'll be an afterthought on offense. The reward isn't enough to justify the risk.
