Michael Vick will 'be a threat' in running game

Aug 23, 2013

Eagles QB Michael Vick is ready to play the way that made him famous - and he's not worried about injuries that could come as a result.

"I'm going to have the opportunity to do what I want to do in this offense and run the football," Vick said. "And yes, I will be a threat."

Vick spent the offseason preparing for more running. His carries per game fluctuated from 8.3 in 2010 to 5.8 in 2011 to 6.2 in 2012. He's noticeably bigger - he said last month he added four pounds of muscle to withstand more hits.

Fantasy Impact:

Vick's arrow is pointing up in Chip Kelly's offense. He'll take his shots downfield and it sounds as if he plans to run as well. He has QB1 upside, but is better used as part of a QBBC.

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.
