Bucs precautionary with Doug Martin

Aug 19, 2013

Bucs head coach Greg Schiano had this to say about running back Doug Martin:

“Doug Martin is doing well. He was out there today, he practiced. [We were] precautionary, we didn’t hit him, but he could have been [hit] if we wanted, just figured it wasn’t worth it right now. He got all of his work without getting touched which is a little bit more like in-season practice for him today.”

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Martin, who scared owners and potential owners in week 2 of the preseason with a knee to his head trying to block. Martin is considered a top-three running back in just about any format this draft season, especially with not a lot of proven talent behind him to steal work.

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.
