Chargers RB Melvin Gordon could end holdout soon

Sep 25, 2019

Chargers’ RB Melvin Gordon’s holdout could soon be coming to an end, though no final decisions have made when to report, per league sources. He had planned to return at some point in October, but could soon be moving up his reporting date.

Fantasy Impact:

A Melvin Gordon return could happen sooner than we first thought. Austin Ekeler has proven to be more than capable in Gordon's absence, but he hasn't been used as a true early-down running back and Gordon would likely take back that work while Ekeler could stay heavily involved as a receiver, giving both plenty of fantasy relevancy.

Ian Rapoport reports that even if Gordon were to show up this week, he would not play against the Dolphins in Week 5, so your Ekeler and Jackson shares are safe against a weak Dolphins defense.

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.
