Saints beat: Jonathan Williams leading candidate to replace Mark Ingram

Aug 22, 2018

Mike Triplett of ESPN reports that "the Saints' decision to release veteran Terrance West on Tuesday further cemented Jonathan Williams as the leading candidate to be paired with Alvin Kamara during Mark Ingram's four-game suspension to start the season".

Fantasy Impact:

Ingram averaged 14.4 carries and 4.4 targets in 2017. Even if Kamara takes some of that work, it is likely Williams would have a sizable role should he be the true complement to him to start the year. He is worth taking a flier on late in drafts and can likely be selected with your final pick. Williams currently is going undrafted.

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.
