Saints designate RB Jamaal Williams (hamstring) for return

Oct 17, 2023

Running back Jamaal Williams is on his way back to the Saints lineup.

The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that Williams has been designated to return from injured reserve. Williams injured his hamstring in Week 2 and became eligible to return to the active roster after last Sunday’s loss to the Texans.

Related players: Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

Williams can practice with the team for the next 21 days. He can be activated at any point in that window, so he could play against Jacksonville on Thursday night. If he’s not activated in the three-week span, he won’t be able to return this season. Williams ran 27 times for 74 yards and caught two passes for seven yards before his injury, the story all said. He'll likely form a 1-2 punch with Kamara once he's back, much like Mark Ingram from recent years.

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.
