Austin gets first career start for Cowboys

Oct 10, 2009

With receiver Roy Williams not expected to play Sunday at Kansas City because of bruised ribs, Miles Austin will get his first career start.

Williams is listed as doubtful on the injury report, but he did not practice all week, and coach Wade Phillips is not sure if Williams will even make the trip to Kansas City.

Williams expressed hope Wednesday that he could play Sunday, but Phillips said the rib injury has not healed enough.

For Austin, who has five catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in four games, it's a chance for the most playing time he would have had in his four seasons.

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.
