Browns: Trouble ahead with Cribbs?

Jul 12, 2009

This week could be pivotal in determining Joshua Cribbs’ future with the Browns.

According to a report on NFL.com, Cribbs’ agents have a meeting scheduled with general manager George Kokinis and coach Eric Mangini. If Cribbs doesn’t get a new contract, he will not play a game for the Browns this season, a person with knowledge of the situation told NFL.com.

J.R. Rickert, one of Cribbs’ agents, declined to comment when reached Saturday.

If Cribbs, a standout special teamer and backup receiver, is serious about holding out, demanding a trade or leaving training camp after reporting, he would be reversing his stance for the second time this offseason. Cribbs skipped the beginning of “voluntary” minicamps in the hope of getting a new contract, then returned to practice a week later without any compromise from the Browns.

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.
