Brees: RB Mike Bell MVP of camp

Aug 27, 2009

New Orleans Saints running back Mike Bell received a ringing endorsement from quarterback Drew Brees on Thursday, words that might carry some weight when the coaching staff eventually pares the regular-season roster to 53.

Bell made a strong showing in Saturday night's 38-14 win against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium, rushing 10 times for 100 yards in the first half, including a 46-yard touchdown run.

"Mike's a guy, ever since he's gotten here, who's gotten better and better,'' Brees said. "He showed what he could do the other night. He ran extremely hard. He's had a great training camp. He's the guy who might be the MVP of training camp. I think he understands what we need from that third running back position. I see him playing a role in what we do if he continues to run like that.''

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.
