Arians: Andre Ellington should get 25-30 touches per game

May 27, 2014

Cardinals HC Bruce Arians mentioned Andre Ellington is #1 back and expects him to get 25-30 touches per game.

Fantasy Impact:

Well, 25 touches per game equates to 400 over the course of a 16-game season. In the last 40 seasons, just 36 running backs have posted 400+ touches in a season, and only one (James Wilder, 1984) has touched the ball 480 times (which equates to 30 touches per game). Andre Ellington isn't going to touch the ball that much, but this kind of talk will do nothing to dampen the optimism surrounding him this offseason. He looks like a strong RB2 in standard formats with upside in PPR.

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.
