Alex Green to remain Packers lead back

Oct 30, 2012

Packers RB Alex Green will remain the lead back on offense. As poor as Green's numbers have been over the past two weeks and as well as James Starks has performed in the past, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy still believes Green deserves the opportunity to be the top back.

Green is by far the fastest of the team's backs and has better hands than Starks. Green played in a run-and-shoot offense in college, and he's still making adjustments to being in a pro-style offense, so it might take him time to get going.

Fantasy Impact:

Green hasn't been overly productive since taking over for Cedric Benson, gaining only 154 yards on 64 carries, but the high workload keeps him fantasy relevant as a flex play.

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.
