Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette is team's new 'nickel' back

Oct 26, 2020

Coach Bruce Arians told reporters on Monday that Leonard Fournette is the team’s new “nickel” running back.

Related players: LeSean McCoy, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Ronald Jones

Fantasy Impact:

The story said on Sunday against the Raiders, Fournette participated in 40 snaps, a 56-percent rate. Fournette rushed for 50 yards on 11 carries, and he added 47 receiving yards on six catches. McCoy, in contrast, was the only non-quarterback on either team who didn’t play at all. And, McCoy was the only running back on any team who dressed but didn’t play in any of the 13 Week 7 games played so far, the story pointed out. It's possible the Bucs look to trade McCoy. Vaughn is a similar back and could also serve as the nickel back.

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.
