Damien Williams seizing opportunity with Bears

Aug 04, 2021

Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times has pinpointed RB Damien Williams as the under-the-radar player that has been the most impressive after one week of training camp. "After a year off, he doesn’t seem to have lost a step," writes Finley. "With Cohen still out, Williams has seized his opportunity to be a mismatch nightmare in the pass game."

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears are still without RB Tarik Cohen as he recovers from ACL surgery, so the addition of Williams has kept the Bears running back room with an experienced back-up, especially in the passing game. Williams has experience in the Matt Nagy offense with it being similar to the offense Andy Reid runs in Kansas City. As long as Williams remains healthy, he has late-round value in PPR formats and has major upside if David Montgomery were to get hurt.

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.
