Texans RB Duke Johnson (hamstring) back at practice

Aug 20, 2019

Texans running back Duke Johnson is practicing for first time after dealing with hamstring injury before and after trade.

Related players: Lamar Miller

Fantasy Impact:

As John Paulsen recently said about Johnson in his draft guide:

Duke Johnson has three-down ability but has never been used that way. He’s been traded to a team with a vulnerable starter and could have a weekly role worthy of flex consideration. He might post RB1 numbers if anything were to happen to Miller. (Keeper league owners, heads up: Lamar Miller is a free agent next year, so it’s possible that the Texans go into 2020 with Johnson as their RB1.)

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.
