Dallas is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Bears due to a shin injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
The severity of Dallas' shin injury is unknown at this time. If he is unable to return, his absence is not expected to impact Arizona's offense, as he is primarily a special teams contributor.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Role contained to special teams
Rotowire
Dallas gained 23 yards on his lone kickoff return in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Dallas is the fourth running back on Arizona's depth chart behind James Conner, Emari Demercado and Trey Benson, and with all three players above him enjoying good health thus far, the Cardinals haven't needed Dallas' services on offense. All 106 of the snaps Dallas has played this season have come on special teams, where he's settled in as Arizona's top kickoff returner. Through seven games, Dallas has brought back 12 kicks for 378 yards and a touchdown, which came back in the season-opening loss to the Bills.

Cardinals' DeeJay Dallas: Lands in desert
Rotowire
Dallas is set to sign a contract with the Cardinals, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Dallas will stay in the NFC West after a four-year start to his career in Seattle. The 25-year-old is better known for his work as a return man than in the backfield and likely will be working to hold down return duties in Arizona.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Effective returner in 2023
Rotowire
Dallas rushed 16 times for 36 yards and caught six of nine targets for 26 yards across 17 games during the 2023 season. He returned 25 punts for 265 yards and 17 kicks for 440 yards (25.9 yards per return).
Dallas finished 10th in the league among players with at least 15 punt returns with 10.6 yards per return, and he landed seventh among players with at least 15 kick returns with 25.9 yards per return. He's slated to be a free agent in March. Dallas could stick around with the Seahawks, but he'll have limited offensive impact as long as Kenneth Walker and/or Zach Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Left out of offensive rotation
Rotowire
Dallas didn't record an offensive snap in Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles. He returned one punt for seven yards.
Dallas was left out of the offensive rotation for the fourth time this season, as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet handled all the reps in Week 15. The fourth-year running back continues to be useful as a returner, but he's off fantasy radars until further notice.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We'll hopefully find out the status of Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) soon, but Pete Carroll said Charbonnet just suffered a bruise following the Week 13 loss at the Cowboys. Walker has missed the past two games and could return in Week 14, but if somehow both Charbonnet and Walker are out then you should plan to add Dallas in deeper leagues. He'll be a flex option at best in a tough matchup against the 49ers, but Dallas would likely get at least 15 total touches, with work in the passing game. You can add Dallas in deeper formats for 1 percent of your FAB.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Puts up 15 yards in loss
Rotowire
Dallas rushed twice for 10 yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Thursday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers. He also muffed a punt that the 49ers recovered.
Dallas slotted in as the No. 2 running back behind rookie Zach Charbonnet while Kenneth Walker (oblique) was inactive for the first time all season. Charbonnet ended up serving as a workhorse out of the backfield, limiting Dallas to just eight offensive snaps. It's unclear if Walker will be ready for the Week 13 matchup versus the Cowboys, but regardless, Dallas won't have much fantasy utility.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Churns out 14 yards
Rotowire
Dallas rushed once for four yards and caught his lone target for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams. He also returned two punts for 25 yards.
Dallas played his first offensive snaps since Week 7 because Kenneth Walker left in the first half with an oblique injury. Rookie Zach Charbonnet was the clear workhorse following Walker's injury, turning 15 carries into 47 yards and catching all six of his targets for 22 yards. It sounds like Walker is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's matchup against the 49ers, and if he does sit out, Dallas will factor in as the No. 2 running back behind Charbonnet again.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: No offensive work in win
Rotowire
Dallas didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders. He returned two punts for 14 yards.
Dallas battled a shoulder injury during the practice week, but that's probably not the reason he was left out of the offensive rotation. After all, the fourth-year running back hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7, as rookie Zach Charbonnet has claimed an increased role in the offense instead.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Ready to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Dallas (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Washington.
Dallas was a limited participant during practice Week 10 as he tended to a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old will now be ready to play his ninth game for the Seahawks this season, though he's largely been invisible on offense during the team's previous eight contests. Expect Dallas to contribute primarily on special teams while adding depth behind running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Questionable for Week 10
Rotowire
Dallas (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Dallas hasn't played an offensive snap since Week 7 and has touched the ball just nine times for 25 scoreless yards on the season. He was a limited participant in practice in the Seahawks' first two Week 10 sessions, but according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, head coach Pete Carroll suggested Dallas looks on track to play. If active Sunday, Dallas would fill a depth role behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet and would likely get most of his opportunities on special teams.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Practices Thursday
Rotowire
Dallas (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The running back and punt returner hurt his shoulder during Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Dallas' status in Friday's practice should help determine whether he plays Sunday against the Commanders. Dallas has five carries for 14 yards and four catches for 11 yards from scrimmage this season.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Misses practice, will try to play
Rotowire
Dallas (shoulder) sat out practice Wednesday, but head coach Pete Carroll said the running back will try to play Sunday versus Washington, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Dallas hurt his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and needed help getting off the field after a punt. Carroll said Monday that the 25-year-old was still "pretty sore," but the coach then said Wednesday that Dallas was "bouncing around" while catching punts and running around during Wednesday's walkthrough. Dallas will try to play Week 10 against the Commanders, and if he's able to do so, he should again serve as the Seahawks' primary punt returner.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Dallas suffered a right shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Ravens and is questionable to return, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
The running back needed trainer assistance to get off the field after a punt, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Dallas returned two punts for nine yards before exiting. The fourth-year pro has played more on special teams than on offense in 2023.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: No offensive snaps in win
Rotowire
Dallas didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns. He totaled 15 yards on two punt returns.
Dallas lost his kick-return duties in Week 8 with Dee Eskridge returning to the lineup. He has averaged 12.7 yards per punt return this season, which ranks fourth in the league for players with more than 10 returns. He should retain active status each week, but his fantasy utility will be negligible as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Held to one catch versus Arizona
Rotowire
Dallas caught his lone target for no gain in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals. He also returned a kick for 24 yards and four punts for 47 yards.
Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) was inactive, making Dallas the No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Walker. Dallas handled just 14 offensive snaps (23 percent) compared to Walker's 48. The 2020 fourth-round pick continues to impress as a punt returner, but his fantasy utility is negligible as long as either Walker or Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Primed for No. 2 role
Rotowire
Dallas is expected to serve as the Seahawks' No. 2 back Sunday against the Cardinals with Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) listed as questionable but not in line to be active for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Kenneth Walker will remain Seattle's lead back and could take on a slightly larger share of the snaps and touches out of the backfield with his top backup out of the mix, but Charbonnet's expected absence clears the way for Dallas to at least have a change-of-pace role in the offensive game plan. While both Walker and Charbonnet have been available for each of the Seahawks' first five games, Dallas has played single-digit snaps on offense in every contest, recording five carries for 14 yards and three catches for 11 yards during that span.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Just four snaps on offense Week 6
Rotowire
Dallas hauled in his lone target for minus-1 yard Sunday in the Seahawks' 17-13 loss to the Bengals.
Dallas took the field for just four of the Seahawks' 74 snaps on offense, with starter Kenneth Walker (56 snaps) and Zach Charbonnet (18 snaps) handily outpacing him in playing time. Both Walker and Charbonnet should remain the clear-cut top two options out of the backfield while they're healthy, limiting Dallas to little more than spot duty out of the backfield. Even though the Seahawks don't have much of a need for him on offense, Dallas should continue to avoid the inactive list due to his status as the team's kick and punt returner.

Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas: Three touches in win
Rotowire
Dallas recorded two carries for seven yards and caught his only target minus-2 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also totaled 55 yards on two kick returns and 41 yards on three punt returns.
Dallas has yet to play more than nine offensive snaps in a game this season. He has been quite effective as a returner thus far, but his offensive usage will remain limited now that Zach Charbonnet is ramping up as the No. 2 option behind Kenneth Walker.
