Joique Bell winning RB2 battle

Aug 26, 2013

The battle for the Detroit Lions' No. 2 tailback job is heating up, but Joique Bell isn't sweating it.

Maybe because he's in control.

Bell, competing with Mikel Leshoure for the gig, is having a terrific preseason.

Bell seemingly has outperformed Leshoure, both in practices and games.

Fantasy Impact:

In last week's game against the Patriots, Bell rushed five times for a team-high 52 yards and caught two passes for 49 yards, including a nifty 38-yard second-half catch that featured several broken tackles. Something Leshoure has failed to do, the story points out. If he wins the job, Bell will back up Reggie Bush. Bell isn't getting drafted, but if you own Bush, Bell may be someone to consider in the last round.

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.
