With Thomas Rawls out, Seahawks sorting out RBs

Jul 31, 2016

In the Seattle backfield, Christine Michael gets the first shot at running back, with Thomas Rawls on the PUP list, but there is a clear rotation with Alex Collins and Zac Brooks seeing plenty of opportunities with the starters.

C.J. Prosise tweaked his hamstring at the beginning of practice and is not participating in team drills. It will probably take until the beginning of the preseason to figure out which of the backs is inching ahead of the rest.

Fantasy Impact:

Michael would seem to be the favorite to be first behind Rawls (assuming he's the starter) based on his second tour of duty with the team last year and playing pretty well. But there are some other names to keep an eye on as long as Rawls remains out.

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.
