Browns to hold QB competition

May 19, 2014

Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer will begin their competition for the starting job this week in organized team activities, and coach Mike Pettine stressed they can rest assured the race will be fair.

"I don't know if they're going to be sending each other Christmas cards anytime soon,'' Pettine said with a smile at the Positive Coaching Alliance breakfast at FirstEnergy Stadium. "But they know they're both in it together and they're going to compete and I think they both feel comfortable that as a staff we're going to put the best quarterback (out there) that puts us in position to win games.''

Fantasy Impact:

The takeaway here is that the Browns aren't handing Manziel the starting job -- he's going to have to beat out Hoyer. We're expecting Manziel to be under center at some point this season.

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.
