Tim Hightower plays on 71-percent of snaps

Dec 14, 2015

There was no question in the New Orleans Saints' mind who would receive the bulk of the running back snaps with Mark Ingram landing on injured reserve earlier this week.

Tim Hightower assumed the role of the Saints' featured tailback with 58 of the team's 82 snaps (71 percent) in the win over Tampa.

Fantasy Impact:

It was perhaps a bit of a surprise that C.J. Spiller remained in his sparse role with 15 snaps (18 percent), while Marcus Murphy played his first offensive snap of the 2015 season. Based on last week, it looks like Hightower could see similar numbers for the rest of the season.

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.
