Lions RBs Best & LeShoure could see time in same backfield

May 09, 2011

Lions coach Jim Schwartz said it's "definitely a possibility" that Best and Leshoure will see time in the same backfield next year -- their games are complementary, with Best a dangerous perimeter runner and pass catcher and Leshoure a 227-pound between-the-tackles pounder -- but that Linehan won't use a "Randy Ratio" when calling plays.

Linehan was offensive coordinator with the Vikings in 2002 when then-head coach Mike Tice encouraged 40% of his team's passes to be thrown receiver Randy Moss' way.

Each back's workload "might change from week to week," Schwartz said. "It might change due to injuries and player availability. It might change based on opponent.

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.

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.
