George Holani News
Monday, September 14, 6:37 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani didn't produce much with the ball in his hands during Week 1 against the New England Patriots. However, he was a thorn in the side of Jadarian Price's fantasy managers because he earned nearly as many snaps and touches as the rookie. Holani played 23 snaps in Week 1, while Price played 24. The former mustered eight touches for 3.6 YPC, but he didn't score a touchdown or catch a pass. That's the biggest hold-up with Holani in fantasy football right now; PPR managers need him to catch more passes, and all of his managers would appreciate some touchdowns. With that being said, it was just Week 1, and the Seahawks had to adapt to an offense without Sam Darnold. When they return to action, they'll have 11 days rest and Holani could end up carving out a larger role. Heading into Week 2 against the Cardinals, he ranks as a fringe RB4 with a low floor but decent upside.

Kaelon Black News
Monday, September 14, 6:29 AM
San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black should be a priority waiver wire target for managers in 12+ team leagues. Black rushed for 65 yards on 14 carries in Week 1, and he also caught one pass for five receiving yards. This was one of the first times during Christian McCaffrey's stint with the 49ers that we saw a backup handle 10+ touches, even though McCaffrey was active. There are a few factors to consider here. First, McCaffrey was returning from an undisclosed injury, so maybe he wasn't 100 percent and the 49ers wanted to use Black to keep him fresh. Second, the 49ers won by 20 points, so it makes a little more sense to integrate the depth players once the game gets out of hand. Still, this was a fascinating development for the 49ers and their rookie running back. At worst, Black is a bench handcuff who would jump to the RB2 tier if McCaffrey gets hurt. At best, Black can have weekly RB3/flex value of his own.
