Broncos HC John Fox "prefers a gamer" at QB

Jul 08, 2011

John Fox maintained Thursday afternoon that the Broncos will have a "wide-open competition" at quarterback, but admitted, for the first time publicly, that "deep down, I have an idea" who will be No. 1 when the season starts.
The coach is not telling me or you who it is.

"I prefer a gamer to a good practice player. . . . I want someone who will execute under pressure in a game, " Fox said.

Fantasy Impact:

The most likely scenario we see is Kyle Orton being shipped out of town and Tim Tebow starting for the Broncos. However, John Fox has been known in the past for his love of veterans and a conservative style. While we expect Tebow to be the guy, we would not at all be surprised to see Fox go in a more conservative direction with Kyle Orton. Orton did post solid numbers last season before injuries slowed his campaign.

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.
