Cam Newton turned loose

Aug 10, 2014

On a rainy day when you'd think the Panthers would be careful with their franchise quarterback recovering from offseason ankle surgery, they turned him loose.

Cam Newton ran the read option and was allowed to scramble for the first time in training camp. He did it under a steady downpour and showed no issues.

Fantasy Impact:

We just had a story about Newton still feeling discomfort in his foot, so this is quite a turnaround, especially, as the story indicated, since the conditions weren't ideal. Good news for potential Newton owners that he's getting his wheels back to normal. This is also after WR Kelvin Benjamin showed signs of being ready to take on a big role in the offense.

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.
