'Tough call' for BenJarvus Green-Ellis to make final roster

Jun 10, 2014

OC Hue Jackson likes Rex Burkhead a lot and I think he’s one of the many reasons why it’s such a tough call for BenJarvus Green-Ellis to be on the Opening Day roster. Burkhead, the 2013 sixth-round pick from Nebraska, was active for only one game as a rookie but he showed them last preseason and in practice that he’s faster and more athletic than you think.

Fantasy Impact:

If Green-Ellis is cut, Jeremy Hill's stock should rise due to certainty of situation. Giovani Bernard will see a bigger role in 2014, but BJGE finished as the #31 RB last year, so Hill should be a RB3/flex type if The Law Firm is out of the way.

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.
