Dion Lewis out for year with torn ACL

Nov 09, 2015

The New England Patriots will be without running back Dion Lewis for the rest of the season, as an MRI on Monday revealed he has a torn ACL.

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously a tough blow for Lewis, the Patriots and his owners. LeGarrette Blount probably picks up half of his carries, but Lewis’s role in the in the passing game is up for grabs. James White filled in during Week 7, but didn’t do much (five touches, 30 yards), and Brandon Bolden was inactive that week with a hamstring injury. In Week 9, White was a healthy scratch while Bolden saw four touches for 39 yards and a touchdown, including 3-27-1 (4) in the passing game. White did play ahead of Bolden in Week 8 (but wasn't impressive). White also has the endorsement of beat writer Mike Reiss, who believes that he is ahead of Bolden on the team's RB depth chart. It's also not out of the question the Pats could bring back Travaris Cadet, who was released in late September.

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.
