Breaking down the Patriots' WR corps

Jul 24, 2014

Nick O'Malley of Mass Live broke down the Patriots' WR depth chart this way...

WR1 (Z - off line): Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell, Matthew Slater, Derrick Johnson
WR2 (X - outside): Aaron Dobson, Kenbrell Thompkins, Greg Orton, Wilson Van Hoosen
WR (slot): Danny Amendola, Josh Boyce, Jeremy Gallon

Fantasy Impact:

So according to this depth chart, LaFell is playing behind Edelman, which means Dobson and Thompkins are competing for snaps at WR2. Dobson has the inside track, but his foot injury is worrisome.

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.
