Ronnie Hillman could get call for Denver

Nov 20, 2012

Denver RB Ronnie Hillman (5-10, 190) has been listed as the top backup to Willis McGahee and likely will get the first call Sunday in the Broncos' game at Kansas City.

The rookie from San Diego State, a third-round pick in the 2012 draft, might be the Broncos' quickest and fastest running back. He ranks second on the team in rushing (188 yards on 49 carries) and has yet to lose a fumble as a pro.

Fantasy Impact:

This is the Denver Post speculating, but the story pointed out how pass blocking is the key to whichever running back gets on the field most. Head coach John Fox called Hillman "feisty" in pass protection for a smaller guy, leading the Post to believe Hillman will get the first chance to carry the load in replacing McGahee. McGahee is likely out for the rest of the regular season so fantasy owners should pay attention.

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.
