Saints signs Western Illinois RB

May 06, 2009

Although no team selected Western Illinois RB Herb Donaldson during the NFL draft, he apparently was very much in demand afterward. The Saints, who outbid several NFL teams, signed him to a three-year contract, according to his St. Louis-based agent, Jason Fletcher. No other terms were disclosed. Donaldson, 5 feet 11, 220 pounds, finished as the school's leading rusher with 4,746 yards and 50 touchdowns. He will compete for a roster spot as a short-yardage and goal-line RB.

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.
