Texans acquire RB Carlos Hyde from Chiefs

Aug 31, 2019

The Texans have acquired RB Carlos Hyde from the Chiefs for guard Martinas Rankin, according to Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans acquire their second running back in a month after also acquiring Duke Johnson from the Browns. Houston now has two-back set and Hyde likely takes some work from Johnson, but Johnson should still be the favorite for majority of the work. The fantasy situation in Kansas City clears up as well as Darwin Thompson is now locked in as the backup to Damien Williams and will also receive plenty of work. Time shares may be seen in both places.

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.
