Alvin Kamara . injury update
We’ll have to keep an eye on the latest Kamara (knee) practice report, but for now, we don’t know much except that he could be back anytime soon after a month off. The wound isn’t said to be serious, but it seems the Saints are being more cautious. Kamara was restricted from training for the past week, so it looks like he’s close. If he’s out again, Mark Ingram will be back in action again, and it looks like Tony Jones Jr lost his chance after a healing scratch in Week 13.
If Kamara returns, his fantasy owner will be happy to know the Jets are the worst team against fantasy RB, and that’s who Kamara will be up against. That said, we are rating him positively as RB4 in standard and RB3 in PPR . tournaments.
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
D’Andre Swift Injury Update
Before Week 13, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Swift is a ‘long shot’ to return in Week 14 against the Broncos, but we’ll see how the situation plays out. In all likelihood, Swift will be a limited participant in practice over the weekend and will at best be a game-time decision.
The Broncos are now just a neutral match for the RBs, so Jamaal Williams Is our RB20 standard and RB17 in PPR if Swift misses another game. Williams has only one goal against the Vikings, but we expect that to be achieved based on his goal metrics throughout the season as a fallback.
WEEK 14 PPR ASSESSMENT:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
Damien Harris Injury Update
Harris (hamstring) has left Monday’s game against the Bills a couple of times, with the Patriots off until Week 15, we probably won’t get many updates between now and next week. With some extra rest, Harris will likely be fine for New England’s next game, but nagging injuries are really on the rise for him.
If Rhamondre Stevenson is in your league, find him now. He will be the starter if Harris is forced to miss time.
