49ers activate RB Jerick McKinnon

Aug 06, 2019

The 49ers have activated RB Jerick McKinnon from the PUP list. A key part of their backfield is back in the mix following an ACL tear last preseason.

Fantasy Impact:

The activation of Jerick McKinnon can only cause trouble in fantasy, as the 49ers now have three above-average running backs vying for touches in an offense that often uses running backs in a committee. McKinnon does have a ways to go to get back up to speed and will most likely lag behind for a month or so as he works to make up ground. For now, Tevin Coleman remains the lead back, but it will be tough to keep Matt Breida off the field unless he's hurt.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
