RB Duke Johnson agrees to extension with Browns

Jun 07, 2018

The Browns are signing running back Duke Johnson to a 3-year contract extension worth $15.6 million, including $5 million guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact:

The extension will make Johnson the eighth-highest paid running back in terms of average annual value. While this makes the signing of Carlos Hyde and draft selection of Nick Chubb all the more head-scratching, it indicates that Johnson's role with the Browns is safe. He has caught 188 passes in his three NFL seasons, including 74 in 2017. Last year, he was the No. 11 scoring running back in PPR formats, but he is currently being drafted outside of the top 30 at his position.

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.
