Raiders RB Doug Martin 'jumped out' to OC Olson

Jul 24, 2018

Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said running back Doug Martin “jumped out” in camp with his quickness and ability to pick up the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

We've heard this story before, but Martin has been good once every three years, and averaged under three yards per carry for the last two, so maybe the trend will continue. Marshawn Lynch was solid last year for the Raiders, but it is clear he cannot handle the same kind of workload he had in Seattle. There is a chance for Martin to carve out a sizable role here, but it is fair to question just how much fantasy value that would have. Oakland was just 19th in total PPR points at the running back position in 2017.

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.
