Patriots Beat: RB James White looks to be 'significant part' of team's offense

Aug 01, 2014

Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss on RB James White: "Has opened eyes with how many quality reps he's getting and looks like he’ll be a significant part of the team’s attack -- on all three downs."

Fantasy Impact:

White appears to be the RB3 backing up both Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley, the team's 'passing back' and 'big back,' respectively. White isn't a big back, but he's shifty. He's worth a late-round pick as a handcuff/prospect type.

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.
