Steelers not concerned about LeVeon Bell's knee

Aug 11, 2013

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said he elected not to use RB LeVeon Bell, a No. 2 draft choice, because his knee was still sore after getting it dinged at training camp. That is just another indication of the plans the Steelers have for the former Michigan State back.

"He's going to be fine," Tomlin said. "I just don't want to start his career out in less than ideal circumstances from a health standpoint. We have a lot of time to evaluate him and others, so we're going to be patient there."

Fantasy Impact:

LaRod Stephens-Howling filled in and performed well, but even the article points out that the Steelers have big plans for Bell. Bell had been running with the first team and seems to be the favorite to land the starting job. Stephens-Howling, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer are also in the mix.

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.
