Texans will 'rely' on a 'by committee approach' with Arian Foster out

Aug 05, 2015

Texans will rely on RBs with a by committee approach. Emphasis on "roles," HC Bill O'Brien said.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like the Texans are going to sign Pierre Thomas, who immediately becomes the best third down back on the roster. Alfred Blue, Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk would vie for carries on first and second down. It appears that Thomas may have the most value in PPR formats. Blue has the inside track for early down carries, but he wasn't very productive last season (3.1 YPC). He averaged 3.74 YPC in the six games where he saw at least 10 carries.

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.
