Kevin Smith still taking most first-team reps

Sep 20, 2012

Lions RB Kevin Smith continued to take the first-team reps during the portion of practice open to the media and nobody is saying how big a role Mikel Leshoure might play Sunday.

"He only had a few carries in the preseason," quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "We will see what he's available to do and what he's comfortable doing. It's nice to have another back and to have some depth, but it's yet to be seen how he feels."

Fantasy Impact:

There has been a lot of buzz about Leshoure as he has come off of suspension, but we doubt that he takes over the RB1 job without an injury to Kevin Smith. It was just the preseason, but Leshoure rushed 20 times for just 44 yards, though he did catch two passes, and one went for 33 yards. He is a nice speculative add, but don't expect a lot right away.

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.
