Buccaneers TE O.J. Howard still getting up to speed

Aug 09, 2021

HC Bruce Arians on O.J. Howard: "He's getting back, but he's not there yet. He had a chance to make a couple of grimy catches in the end zone and didn't come up with them. I expect him to make those. He's still catching up to the speed of it, the physicality of it."

Related players: Rob Gronkowski, Cameron Brate

Fantasy Impact:

Howard owned the No. 13 per game average before going down with an Achilles injury in Week 4. If Gronkowski continues to decline or the Bucs just want to limit his snaps, Howard could surprise. He cleared 49 yards and/or found the end zone in three of four games last year. Keep in mind, Brate had a nice postseason last year, too, but we have Howard just behind Gronk in our TE rankings. However both are considered TE3 options right now and could cancel one another out.

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.
