Jordan Raanan: Consider me bullish on Dion Lewis for fantasy

Sep 25, 2020

Jordan Raanan of ESPN expects Giants RB Dion Lewis to benefit the most Sunday against the 49ers.

"My expectation Sunday for Giants backfield is Wayne Gallman starts (run downs), Dion Lewis gets the most snaps (pass downs + more) while Devonta Freeman is sprinkled in with only 5 days to learn the playbook and get into playing shape," tweeted Raanan. "Consider me bullish on Lewis for fantasy."

Fantasy Impact:

Raanan's opinion helps, but there is no guarantee that the snaps play out like this. Gallman was a healthy scratch last week, leaving Lewis with the entirety of the RB duties. Starting any of this trio has downside, but Lewis should see the most work against a battered 49ers defense.

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.
