Bengals Beat: RB Jeremy Hill will surpass 170 carries

Sep 10, 2014

Bengals.com writer Geoff Hobson: OC Hue Jackson said he didn’t play Jeremy Hill a lot Sunday because he didn’t want to throw a rookie in there in a hostile environment on the road against a good defense. The No. 1 thing you have to do to beat Baltimore at home is not turn it over and stay away from mistakes and so it was a veteran’s game. But don’t worry. Hue knows Hill is around. My guess is he’ll end up with more carries than the rookie Giovani Bernard got with 170 last year. And he’ll get more when the Ravens are at Paul Brown Stadium Oct. 26.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill was reportedly told after the game that he would get more work going forward, so we're still looking for a Bernard/Hill combination backfield with Bernard getting most of the touches. Owners weak at running back should not part ways with Hill just yet.

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.
