Falcons RBs to get more receptions in 2018

Jun 08, 2018

Among the changes Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian feels need to be made in 2018, he mentioned he would like to get Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman more touches in the passing game.

“They didn’t get enough touches, catching the ball out of the backfield,” Sarkisian said. “We have to find those opportunities for them.”

Fantasy Impact:

After combining for 85 receptions in 2016, Freeman and Coleman had just 63 in 2017. Catching more passes would be an obvious boost to the PPR value of each running back. Freeman finished No. 14, while Coleman finished No. 26 in PPR points per game in 2017.

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.
