Raiders release Trent Richardson

Aug 31, 2015

Trent Richardson's once promising NFL career took another major hit Monday when the Oakland Raiders cut him, a day before the mandated 75-player roster cut deadline.

Two NFL sources told ESPN.com the Raiders moved away from Richardson. Oakland gave Richardson $600,000 in guaranteed money this offseason after Indianapolis cut him. Richardson, 25, was the No. 3 overall draft pick by Cleveland in 2012.

Richardson missed the first portion of Raiders training camp because he was dealing with pneumonia. He didn't run well this preseason, finishing with 19 yards on five carries in a 30-23 loss to Arizona on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Richardson's release may have opened the door for undrafted rookie Michael Dyer. The former Auburn and Louisville standout looked better than Richardson this summer. Roy Helu also just returned from his injury and is expected to be a pass-catching option.

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.
