Burress future?

Jun 14, 2009

The Jets, Bucs and Bears have shown interest in WR Plaxico Burress, but the uncertainty that remains about his availability could easily scare teams away. Jail time is no longer the most immediate threat to his playing time. Roger Goodell is now first up with a chance to knock Burress down.

Burress will be in Manhattan Criminal Court tomorrow, but instead of his status being clarified with a plea arrangement or trial date for 2010, his attorney says the case will be adjourned until September.

Will any team sign him, bring him to training camp, count on him and then find out in September that he has reached a plea agreement to serve jail time that presumably would cost him at least the rest of the season? On the other hand, perhaps there will be another adjournment in September, or an agreement that jail time will not be served until after the 2009 season, or that there will be a trial in 2010. It appears Burress' goal is to do everything he can to get on the field this season and delay his legal woes until 2010.

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.
