Packers trade for RB Knile Davis

Oct 18, 2016

The Green Bay Packers need to shake something up, so they acquired Knile Davis in a trade with the Chiefs.

It's not the world's sexiest trade, but it is for a big name at a skill position, meaning it raises plenty of eyebrows.

Fantasy Impact:

With James Starks apparently out multiple weeks and Eddie Lacy banged up, the Packers needed help at the position. The Pack used Randall Cobb and especially Ty Montgomery out of the backfield last week against Dallas but Lacy was the only active RB for Week 6. Davis can help right away but may not have an immediate fantasy impact until he knows more of the playbook. As for the Chiefs, Davis was behind Charles, Ware and West on the depth chart.

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.
