Browns QB competition "is very close."

Aug 24, 2009

It will be another week without knowing the Browns' starting QB for the next preseason game on Saturday.

Pressed to assess the QB competition, coach Eric Mangini maintained that the process is playing out and he will not make a decision until he is able to make the right decision.

Much of the discussion today concerned Derek Anderson's performance in the 27-10 win over Detroit. Mangini praised Anderson for making good throws and other positives not readily observed in the game, such as recognitions and using his cadence to draw the Lions offsides twice.

Mangini would not say who will start at QB against Tennessee in the game typically considered the dress rehearsal for the season opener. It would be Brady Quinn's turn to start based on Mangini's rotation.

The coach insists he is confident a winner will present itself before the opener on Sept. 13, even though he said the competition "is very close."

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.
