Panthers Beat: Don't forget RB Jonathan Stewart

Jul 31, 2017

Jonathan Stewart will share the backfield with Christian McCaffrey. He will be the power back who gets most of the carries on first and second down. McCaffrey will be the change-of-pace back used in passing situations and on third down.

There will be times when both are on the field, either in the backfield or with McCaffrey in the slot or at wide receiver.

Fantasy Impact:

Stewart was 11 yards shy of 1,000 yards in 2015 despite missing three games, and last year ran for over 800 yards and nine TDs. He received a one-year extension through 2018. McCaffrey will surely cut into Stewart's workload but it sounds like Stewart should continue to get early-down work as well as goal line carries.

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.
