Browns likely to use committee at RB

Sep 21, 2013

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said newly-signed RB Willis McGahee will play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (0-2) after signing a one-year deal with the Browns (0-2) Thursday in the wake of the organization trading Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a first-round pick in next year’s draft.

Chudzinski said McGahee, Chris Ogbonnaya and Bobby Rainey will handle the tailback duties, though he wouldn’t reveal who’ll start.

Fantasy Impact:

This looks like a situation to stay away from. Ogbonnaya could have the most value this week due to his experience as a third-down back, and it's like the Browns will be passing a lot. But none of the backs will likely see enough of a workload to produce fantasy points. McGahee is still worth a shot as a free agent grab, but he obviously has limited potential.

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.
