Chargers RB Kalen Ballage leads RBs in touches

Nov 09, 2020

Chargers RB snaps with Justin Jackson exiting on first play yesterday:

Joshua Kelley 43-of-79, 14 touches
Kalen Ballage 31, 17 touches
Troymaine Pope (concussion) inactive.

Fantasy Impact:

Ballage came from the practice squad to take over as the lead back this week after Jackson got hurt. While Kelley played more snaps, the team seemed to trust Ballage more, and the same could probably be said last week with Pope, too. It looks like the Bolts aren't ready to let Kelley take over just yet. Heading into next week, it seems safe to assume Ballage could have a nice fantasy role if Jackson and Pope remain out of action. It also seems to be bad news for those holding out hope for Kelley this season. But with the Chargers struggling record-wise, one would think the team eventually turns things over to Kelley.

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.
