There's real on-field juice buried in McIntosh's tiny sample. Across 11 games in 2024 he turned 31 carries into 172 yards at a robust 5.55 per pop, broke off a 25-yard run, and posted a 12.9% explosive-run rate while forcing a broken tackle every 10.3 attempts. His 3.87 yards before contact hint at decent blocking and burst, and a positive 0.031 EPA per play with zero fumbles shows he didn't waste touches. The problem was volume: a 7.5% snap share, four targets, and zero touchdowns over those 19.4 fantasy points.

Now a torn ACL wipes out his runway. He's working back from the injury while Seattle reshapes the room around Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani, with Charbonnet also rehabbing and Walker gone. That stacks at least three backs ahead of him entering the year. With an RB-189 expert rank and no usable ADP, he's a watch-list dynasty stash, not a draftable asset.
