49ers running the Taser, their Wildcat

Aug 13, 2009

The 49ers are calling their version of the Wildcat formation the Taser.

Wide receivers Michael Spurlock and Arnaz Battle took shotgun snaps in the formation Wednesday morning. Running back Michael Robinson, out with a groin injury, will also practice the Taser when healthy. All three players are former college quarterbacks.

"It was our first foray into it," offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye said. "There are some things about it that are different for us, and good. I like what I saw from Michael Spurlock. The initial introduction of it was very good."

Spurlock said he did not expect to run the Taser on Friday night when the 49ers open their exhibition season against Denver at Candlestick Park.

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.

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.
