Bucs cut Nugent

Oct 06, 2009

Hitting the right upright from 49 yards and missing wide left from 48 yards on Sunday at Washington was the death knell for kicker Mike Nugent.

Tampa Bay just announced that it signed kicker Shane Andrus, who had been in training camp with Indianapolis and kicked off for the Colts in their opener, and cut Nugent.

Nugent, who had previously played for the New York Jets after starring at Ohio State, came to Washington 0-for-2 having missed one field goal try and having the other blocked. He did make two shorter kicks on Sunday.

Nugent signed with Tampa Bay on March 4 and beat out popular incumbent Matt Bryant, who kicked a game-winner last season the week that his infant son died.

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.
