Giants Beat: RB Shane Vereen will be a 'big part of the offense'

Jun 09, 2015

Giants RB Shane Vereen caught pass after pass out of the backfield, in particular in the red zone. He's going to be a big part of the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

Tiki Barber racked up 164 catches in three seasons under HC Tom Coughlin. Coughlin is a defensive mind, but that's proof that he's willing to let his offense utilize the running backs out of the backfield. Vereen could push for RB2 numbers in PPR formats, but with Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams, the team's RB corps is pretty crowded.

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.
