Bengal Notes: staying and going

Sep 02, 2010

Kicker: Mike Nugent took a slight lead over Dave Rayner after making a 54-yard field goal in Buffalo. It’s one of those hanging by a thread type leads though.

Fullback: Joe Tronzo has had a solid preseason but it is possible that they could use tight ends in the backfield.

Running backs: With Brian Leonard out for possibly the first couple weeks with a foot injury, Cedric Peerman and James Johnson are vying for the final spot. Peerman looks to have a slight edge.

Wide receiver: Four spots look like they are set which means Quan Cosby, Jerome Simpson, Matt Jones and Dez Briscoe are vying for two spots. There is still a chance though that they might keep only five.

Tight ends: If the Bengals don’t keep a fullback, they could keep four and have Dan Coates line up at fullback.

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.
