Chiefs want to run the ball ... a lot

Jul 23, 2012

One of the biggest priorities for Kansas City at camp is to get RB Jamaal Charles back to where he was before last season’s knee injury.

Another is to figure out how to maximize the talents of both Charles and RB Peyton Hillis, who had his best pro season playing for new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll two seasons ago, when Daboll was with the Browns.

In the Chiefs’ perfect world, they’ll get the ball to Charles and Hillis a total of 500 times.

Fantasy Impact:

This seems like pretty good news for potential Charles owners. We rank him 10th in standard leagues and 12th in PPR. His ADP is early third round, so if you pick at the bottom of the order, Charles should be there for you. While there is always some risk with recovery, Charles has a chance to finish as a top RB. He may lose some TDs in close to Hillis, but we've seen Charles score from anywhere on the field, too.

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.
