Report: Cards offer Chris Johnson one-year deal

Aug 11, 2015

The Cardinals are in the market for a veteran running back.

According to Dianna Marie Russini of ESPN, the Cards have offered former Titans running back Chris Johnson a one-year deal, and are awaiting word on whether he’ll accept.

It’s no guarantee he’ll sign (as last week’s Pierre Thomas snafu showed), but the fact the Cardinals are interested says something about their spot.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cardinals are so banged up at the moment, it can’t hurt to look to see if the 29-year-old Johnson has anything left, the story said. Johnson, who only managed 663 yards with the Jets last year (on a respectable 4.3 yards per attempt), hasn’t looked like CJ2K for quite some time. Andre Ellington, if healthy, is still expected to get about 20 touches a game, according to a report we had last week, and should get a good part of those in receptions which helps his PPR value. David Johnson is the current RB2.

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.
