Bears Beat: Scouts break down team's RBs

Sep 06, 2020

The Athletic interviews three unnamed scouts talking about the Bears RBs this season:

“David Montgomery is probably what he showed last year,” he says. “To me, he’s a No. 2. He doesn’t have a lot of juice. He can catch the ball, which is what separates him from some other non-explosive backs. He can play in the passing game.”

Fantasy Impact:

The scouts see Tarik Cohen and Cordarrelle Patterson as role players. Obviously Cohen is a third down back while Patterson was described as a gadget guy. The scouts ranked the Bears as the fourth-best RB attack in their division which falls in line with the news most of this offseason. Monty pretty much translates to a low-end RB3 on your fantasy team as we have him ranked 29th among backs.

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.
