Raiders Beat: RB Josh Jacobs should easily double his receptions

Aug 24, 2020

Josh Jacobs said he would like to have 60 receptions this season. He should easily double last year’s 20, but some fantasy experts and national writers got a little stressed out when the Raiders signed veteran Theo Riddick over the weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

As the story points out, Riddick is a nice pass-catching back who once caught 80 balls for the Lions, but was on the couch before the Raiders signed him. The story feels Riddick is there for depth only. Jacobs' reception potential is a big question for potential owners in PPR leagues this season.

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.
