McCarthy: Felt "great" about DuJuan Harris

Mar 20, 2013

Packers HC Mike McCarthy spoke with reporters about his plans for the backfield (as paraphrased by beat writer Tom Silverstein): "Changes will play to the strengths we have. Wish we had [DuJuan Harris] earlier. Couldn't just put him in there, lost of stress on backs...Felt great with DuJuan in the backfield. He's going to play for us next year...Would like to get into a 1-2 punch with the backs. It really helps if you can keep doing it with same guys. [James Starks], [Alex Green] weren't 100%."

Fantasy Impact:

At this point, we think DuJuan Harris will get the most touches in 2013 provided he can stay healthy and hold up in pass protection. The Packers could very well add a RB in free agency (Ahmad Bradshaw, Cedric Benson) or in the draft.

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.
