Brady Quinn to start at QB for Chiefs

Oct 22, 2012

Kansas City Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel named Brady Quinn the team's starting quarterback Monday. Quinn replaces Matt Cassel, and will start for the Chiefs in their Week 8 game against the Oakland Raiders.

"Brady Quinn is the guy I want to go with," Crennel said in a press conference Monday. It appears Quinn will be given time to grow in to the role, as Crennel noted, "I want (Quinn) to be the starting quarterback without looking over his shoulder."

Fantasy Impact:

Matt Cassel will be cleared after a concussion, but Quinn will get the start this week against the Raiders. Based on Crennel's comments, he might be there for a while, too. He was 25-for-41 for just 212 against the weak Bucs passing defense in Week 6. The Raiders aren't much better, but Quinn is not going to be a safe start this week. This definitely hurts the fantasy stock of the entire Chiefs offense, including Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe.

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.
