Cowboys Beat: 'All indications point to' Joseph Randle as No. 1 option in Dallas backfield

Sep 12, 2015

Whether Joseph Randle starts Sunday or not won't be nearly as significant in determining the Cowboys' lead option in their running back-by-committee approach for replacing DeMarco Murray. What's more telling is which running back will receive the most carries.

All indications point to Randle as being the Cowboys' No. 1 option in their backfield to begin the season.

Cowboys coaches wouldn't say this week which running back would start against the Giants. But if practice is any indication, it will be Randle.

Randle practiced with the first-team offense all week and received the majority of the work.

Fantasy Impact:

We believe Randle is the back to own in Dallas, but given the uncertainty in the backfield, his 4th round price was too much to recommend on draft day.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

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

Ian Rapoport

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.
