Chris Thompson: Red zone star

Aug 28, 2020

Jaguars RB Chris Thompson has been the star of red zone drills according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated's JaguarReport. "If he stays healthy, which has admittedly been an issue for him in the past, he has the potential to play a big role in the passing game," wrote Shipley. "He made two fantastic plays during red zone period on Thursday, with one catch coming from an off-balance Minshew due to a blitz. Thompson showed soft hands to bring the pass in, and he had a massive area of space for separation."

Fantasy Impact:

Thompson was brought in to catch passes and offer diversity out of the backfield, and that is what he is doing. Thompson has been fantasy-relevant...when healthy. The role is clearly his if he can stay on the field, and that means cheap fantasy production.

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.
