Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart showing that he's 'ideal for a third-down role'

Aug 07, 2015

Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart showed he is ideal for a third-down role when he had a solid pass protection period, rebounding from a loss to LB Dan Skuta to stonewall LB Khairi Fortt and LB Telvin Smith.

Fantasy Impact:

Gerhart blew his chance to be the team's feature back, but it wasn't entirely his fault as he struggled mightily with a foot injury. T.J. Yeldon is expected to start, but Gerhart will vie with Denard Robinson for touches behind the rookie. Gerhart has caught 76% of his career targets, which is in the same range as the 2014 catch percentages of LeSean McCoy, Eddie Lacy and Justin Forsett. The point is that he has good hands a big body that will help in pass protection. Don't be surprised if it's Gerhart, not Robinson, who plays more snaps behind Yeldon.

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.
