Cardinals RB David Johnson ditched vegan diet to add weight

Sep 03, 2018

Last training camp, David Johson and his wife, Meghan, decided to ditch animal products and start a vegan diet after watching two documentaries on Netflix: "What the Health" and "Forks Over Knives."

With the weight went Johnson's muscle mass. For a power runner, it was the worst possible scenario.

Fantasy Impact:

The longer he continued a vegan diet, the more weight Johnson lost, the story went on to say. He dropped 14 pounds in less than two weeks, weighing in as low as 210. Finally Johnson ditched the diet but would soon break his wrist in the opening game last year. Johnson and the team came up with a plan regain the weight and the muscle mass. Now he'll start Week 1 at 224 pounds, the same he weighed as a rookie.

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.
