McIntosh didn't record a touch in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
Despite Kenneth Walker (oblique) being inactive, McIntosh didn't receive a touch and played just two offensive snaps, the first of his career. Considering the 2023 seventh-round pick barely played with Walker out, he likley won't have any fantasy upside as long as either Walker or Zach Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: No offensive reps in win
Rotowire
McIntosh didn't play on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker left in the fourth quarter with an abdominal injury, and Zach Charbonnet carried the entire backfield workload the rest of the game. Walker's status for the Week 2 matchup versus the Patriots is in flux as a result, and if he misses time, McIntosh should line up as the clear No. 2 back behind Charbonnet.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Long TD run in preseason win
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed once for a 56-yard touchdown and secured his only target for a nine-yard gain in the Seahawks' 37-33 preseason win over the Browns on Saturday night.
The reserve running back recorded his only carry on the Seahawks' third possession, a drive he closed out with an impressive 56-yard scoring scamper off left guard. The touchdown run was the latest example of impressive play from McIntosh, who put together a strong preseason and appears to have the inside track to open the regular season as the No. 3 back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed).

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Makes case to stick as third RB
Rotowire
McIntosh rushed the ball eight times for 46 yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans. He added two receptions (on two targets) for 17 yards.
McIntosh is reportedly being pushed for the third spot on the depth chart by George Holani, though he got the better end of that competition Saturday. With Kenneth Walker resting and Zach Charbonnet (undisclosed) unavailable, McIntosh got the first touch out of the backfield and also led the team in both attempts and rushing yards. In addition to the volume, McIntosh showed some impressive physicality and had a long gain of 12 yards on the ground while also tacking on a 10-yard reception.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Battling for No. 3 role
Rotowire
McIntosh is competing with undrafted rookie George Holani for the Seahawks' No. 3 running back spot, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
McIntosh seemed like the front-runner for the role heading into the offseason, but Holani has stood out in preseason as a rusher and a blocker and could claim the job. Last season, Mcintosh didn't play an offensive snap as he was stuck behind Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas. The No. 3 role isn't expected to provide much fantasy utility as long as Walker and Charbonnet are healthy.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Still no offensive run
Rotowire
McIntosh didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 41-35 loss to the Cowboys.
Head coach Pete Carroll hinted towards some offensive work for the seventh-round rookie this week with Kenneth Walker (oblique) still out, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) operated as the workhorse while DeeJay Dallas picked up the rest of the reps. Charbonnet's injury doesn't sound too serious, and if he's back for Week 14 versus the 49ers, McIntosh will likely remain on the bench once again.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Not returning yet
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The Seahawks still have two weeks to activate McIntosh off IR after the rookie was designated to return to practice earlier this week, so there doesn't seem to be much of a rush. Expect Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and Deejay Dallas to once again all factor in the backfield.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Status unclear for Week 9
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
McIntosh was designated to return to practice Wednesday after spending the first eight weeks of the season on IR with a knee injury. While the 23-year-old was a full participant in each practice Week 9, it appears he may not be fully ready to suit up for Sunday's game against Baltimore. McIntosh will also need to be activated to the 53-man roster in order to suit up against the Ravens, though he'd likely see little offensive playing time with fellow running backs Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas all healthy.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Cleared to practice
Rotowire
The Seahawks designated McIntosh (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
McIntosh was a limited participant in the team's practice Wednesday and has a chance to play Sunday against the Browns. The rookie seventh-round pick could be involved in Seattle's offense from the get-go as both Kenneth Walker (calf) and Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Will wait to make debut
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
After sustaining a sprained knee back in early August, McIntosh will now be sidelined for Seattle's matchup in Week 1. Even when healthy, it's hard to imagine him getting any volume of touches as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are active.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Uncertain for opener
Rotowire
McIntosh (knee) is uncertain to be available for the Week 1 matchup against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.
The Seahawks selected McIntosh with the 237th overall pick in the seventh round of April's draft. Although he's been nursing a sprained left knee since early in camp, there was never much doubt about McIntosh earning a spot on the 53-man roster. More clarity on his status for Week 1 will be gained when Seattle releases its initial injury report next week. The rookie is expected to back up Kenneth Walker, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas to start the year.

Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Another RB to Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks selected McIntosh in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 237th overall.
Buried behind Zamir White and James Cook on the Georgia depth chart, McIntosh finally emerged as the team's top back last season leading the team in rushing (829 yards) and receptions (43) out of the backfield. The 23-year-old is slated to work behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet as a rookie, but following the offseason loss of Travis Homer, McIntosh could potentially carve out a third-down role in a Seattle backfield that also includes DeeJay Dallas.
