Seahawks to go with hot hand at RB

Dec 03, 2009

How well is Justin Forsett going? So well that Seahawks fans are shouting that he should be the starter over injured running back Julius Jones, who has missed the past two games with a bruised lung suffered early in the Arizona game.

So the Seahawks need to figure out if a Jones-Forsett tandem could be the running back duo of the future.

“I understand that you can’t deny Justin has had a couple of really good games with Julius out,” coach Jim Mora said. “I think you are right – we certainly need to evaluate that position and find out exactly what he is, but I don’t think that means you just completely eliminate Julius Jones either. We still need to evaluate him as well.

“We’re going to try and continue to run the ball with whoever is running the ball well that day.”

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.
