Running Back By Committee In Green Bay

Sep 24, 2010

Packers coach Mike McCarthy used the word "committee" to describe the team's approach to replacing Ryan Grant, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury during the team's Week 1 victory at Philadelphia.

Joining Jackson on that committee are John Kuhn and Dimitri Nance. Kuhn, who moved over from fullback to serve as Jackson's backup, had nine carries for 36 yards — both career highs — against Buffalo. Nance had two carries for 6 yards just five days after being signed by the Packers off the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad.

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.
