Bucs Beat: RB Bobby Rainey may get the start

Sep 18, 2014

Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud was asked about RB Doug Martin's status for tonight's game against the Falcons: "I think Martin is active but may not start. Probably go with the hot hand on (Bobby Rainey)."

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds as if Stroud is speculating, not reporting as fact. Martin (and Rainey) owners should be aware that the situation is murky right now. Expect both backs to get touches, possibly forming a full-blown committee.

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.
