Chiago Bears cut RB Chester Taylor

Sep 03, 2011

A year ago, the Chicago Bears made running back Chester Taylor one of the first players to sign in free agency.

Today, they made him one of their first cuts on the final day to trim down to the 53-man roster.

Taylor had split the facility on Monday after a meeting with coach Lovie Smith, believing he had been released. The Bears said it was a misunderstanding. So, Taylor returned, played Thursday night and now he's gone because the Bears could not trade him.

Taylor averaged 2.38 yards per carry last season, the lowest by a running back with a minimum of 100 attempts since the merger in 1970. He’ll be 32 later this month but has a track record for durability and should catch on somewhere.

Fantasy Impact:

The move solidifies Marion Barber as Matt Forte's backup.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
