Cardinals OC: time to 'feed the beast' in RB Adrian Peterson

Nov 03, 2017

Cardinals OC Harold Goodwin wants the Cardinals to focus on the run game this week versus the 49ers.

“Feed the beast,” Goodwin said. “It’s like an old stove. The more wood you put in it, the hotter it gets. We’ve just got to make sure we feed him the ball so he can get comfortable.”

Peterson responded to Goodwin's comments by saying: "I'm all about that."

Fantasy Impact:

With Drew Stanton under center, it makes sense to feed Peterson with as many carries as he can handle. It's also a great matchup for Peterson and the Cardinals running backs, as the 49ers rank 32nd in our aFPA vs. RB rankings, meaning it's the best matchup of the week for RBs.

We have Peterson ranked as our No. 11 RB in standard leagues and he comes in at No. 17 in PPR leagues. Go ahead and start him with confidence.

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.
