David Johnson (ankle) not playing Thursday

Oct 31, 2019

Cardinals RB David Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Like with Chase Edmonds, this was the expected move on a short week. Coach Kliff Kingsbury has already proclaimed the running back group will operate as a committee, headed by Kenyan Drake and Alfred Morris. It's a very difficult matchup for the Cardinals backs, as San Francisco ranks No. 2 in our schedule-adjusted rankings for points allowed to running backs. Between the 49ers stingy defense (allowing under 100 rushing yards per game), the timeshare between the running backs and the short week, this is not a situation to put a ton of faith in for Week 9.

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.
