Aaron Rodgers' trust in Packers WR Davante Adams is growing

Oct 11, 2014

Packers beat writer Rob Demovsky: As Aaron Rodgers' trust in Davante Adams increases, so will the rookie receiver's production. Adams caught his first career touchdown pass last week against the Vikings, and Rodgers noted this week that the more he has watched film, "the more you're seeing No. 17 [Adams] being open." According to Rodgers and the Packers' offensive coaches, Adams has refined and improved his route running and has been winning more one-on-one battles against cornerbacks.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams only has 10 targets over the past three weeks, but he caught his first career touchdown in Week 5 (and nearly had one against the Jets in Week 2 and another against the Bears in Week 4), so Rodgers is not afraid to throw to him in the redzone. A breakout game is likely coming if he's going to continue to play starter-type snaps, which has been the case with Jarrett Boykin sidelined.

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.
