Broncos Beat: Possible QB Teddy Bridgewater plays Week 5

Oct 05, 2021

Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who sustained a concussion in Sunday’s 23-7 loss to Baltimore, will have to clear several hurdles to start Sunday at Pittsburgh. But it is possible.

“Your progression through the return-to-play protocol is based on your symptoms,” said Dr. Casey Batten, director of primary care sports medicine at Cedars-Sinai’s Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles.

If Bridgewater’s symptoms subside throughout the week and he is cleared by multiple physicians and medical personnel, he could play.

Fantasy Impact:

The article is more of a "what if" piece. The doctor quoted has not evaluated Bridgewater, but the point for fantasy owners is there is a path for Bridgewater to play this week, and owners will have to follow closely. If he can't go, Lock would get the start.

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.
