Eagles RB Donnel Pumphrey could see time in the slot

Jul 29, 2018

It appears the Eagles are willing to give RB Donnel Pumphrey an opportunity as he has been getting reps with the first- and second-team offenses so far in training camp. Although he likely won’t carry the ball a ton this season, it does seem the Eagles are preparing to make him a part of the passing game.

“I expect to move to the slot a little bit more. At least that is what the coaches are telling me,” Pumphrey said. “They want me to do a lot more crossing routes with me and different stuff. Just looking forward to it.”

Fantasy Impact:

Pumphrey ended up on IR before the season started last year and just didn't appear ready to play in the NFL. That hasn't been the case so far this year, and the story said he's catching everything thrown to him. Pumphrey is in a battle to make the team but should have an advantage as the Eagles spent a valuable draft pick on him two drafts ago.

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.
