Rock Cartwright - starting RB for WAS

Nov 23, 2009

On Sunday against the Cowboys, Rock Cartwright took on a new identity – starting running back for the Washington Redskins.

He would have worked his usual job as return specialist against the Cowboys. In 2006, he posted the third-longest kickoff return in club history (100 yards) against Dallas.

But the Redskins decided on Thursday to sit Clinton Portis (concussion). Then Ladell Betts left the game with a knee injury on Washington's second drive.

Enter Rock. Cartwright, 5-8, 213, looked like a veteran workhorse. He led the Redskins in rushing and receiving, finishing with 67 yards on 13 carries and 73 yards on seven receptions.

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.
