Brees: "I'd never sit out the season."

Jun 27, 2012

In an interview with ESPN's "Outside the Lines," QB Drew Brees said that regardless of the circumstances surrounding his contract negotiations with the New Orleans Saints, he would not sit out the entire 2012 season. Brees has until July 16 to sign a contract extension with the Saints or he would be forced to play under the one-year franchise offer of around $16.3 million or he could decide to sit out some or all of the season.

"I'd never sit out the season," Brees said Tuesday. "I love the game too much."

Fantasy Impact:

While he didn't say he wouldn't hold out into the season, Brees did alleviate concerns that his holdout could cause him to miss the entire season. He wants a long-term deal, but when push comes to shove, it would be difficult to turn down the $16 million he would earn this season. We're fully expecting him to play in 2012, but he may not be quite as sharp if he continues to miss practice.

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.
