Browns Beat: RB job wide open

Oct 03, 2015

The Browns also have rookie Duke Johnson, and they have been excited about him since the draft. But Johnson has battled a hamstring injury and also suffered a concussion in the preseason. The job is wide open for someone to claim it.

Fantasy Impact:

The author mostly wrote about Isaiah Crowell but it wasn't encouraging. He commented that HC Mike Pettine said Crowell "missed some runs (against the Raiders)." The coach mentioned one near the goal line when Crowell didn't follow his blocking fullback correctly. The author added he doesn't feel Crowell has been as quick and explosive on his runs and mentioned he can't remember the last time he had a good game. Johnson was way more involved in the passing game last week and we may start to see him take over. Injuries may have kept Johnson from passing Crowell up to this point, but it sure seems like Johnson is trending in the right direction from a fantasy standpoint.

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.
