McFadden to bypass Fargas as OAK starter?

Jul 22, 2009

Beat writer Jerry McDonald projects Darren Mcfadden to pass Justin Fargas as the Raiders' starting tailback by Week 1.
McFadden was "more often than not" Oakland's first-team back all spring. This could position D-Mac for 225-275 touches after he saw only 142 as an injury-plagued rookie. It would also give Michael Bush a better shot to secure the No. 2 spot on the depth chart because Fargas is clearly a weaker talent. McDonald says McFadden "ideally" will get 225 carries and 50+ catches.

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.
