Lions won't artificially limit Kerryon Johnson's touches

Jul 24, 2019

Detroit Lions running backs coach Kyle Caskey said at the start of training camp Wednesday that he won't do anything to artificially limit Kerryon Johnson's touches.

"Kerryon’s as tough as any of them, so I don’t foresee any problems with anything coming about," Caskey said. "I’m not going to sit there in a game and say, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s got a number of touches, we got to get him out,’ or anything like that. He is one of those guys that he’ll give you everything he’s got."

Fantasy Impact:

Kerryon Johnson worked behind slug-like LeGarrette Blount for much of last season but he excelled whenever the ball came his way and slowly took over as the lead back. This year he'll go in as the No. 1 and shouldn't have any limitations as the every-down lead. Johnson's upside is extremely high in fantasy if he can stay healthy.

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.
