Lions trade for RB Ronnie Brown

Oct 18, 2011

The Ronnie Brown experiment in Philadelphia is over as the Eagles traded the underperforming running back to the Detroit Lions for running back Jerome Harrison and an undisclosed 2013 draft pick.

Fantasy Impact:

With Jahvid Best suffering from a concussion, and the Lions generally weak between the tackles, Ronnie Brown should fill the need of early down runner, and possibly more if Jahvid Best misses significant time (he very well may not). It remains to be seen exactly how Brown will platoon with Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams, but we doubt he is handed the keys in his first week with the team.

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.
