Cardinals WR Michael Floyd cut after DUI

Dec 14, 2016

The Cardinals have cut wide receiver Michael Floyd.

Floyd, who was scheduled to be a free agent after the season, struggled mightily on the field all season and then was arrested on a DUI charge early Monday morning after the team had returned from a road game in Miami.

To replace Floyd on the roster, the Cardinals signed wide receiver Jeremy Ross, a veteran who has spent time with seven NFL teams, including multiple stints with the Jets this season.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a surprising move, but given his status as a pending free agent and struggles on the field, it's not entirely shocking. He'll definitely get a fresh start elsewhere given his age (27), first round pedigree, and the potential and production he displayed from 2013 to 2015 (averaging 55 catches for 910 yards and 5.7 touchdowns per season). J.J. Nelson should see starter-type snaps with Floyd out of the way and John Brown still limited with his sickle-cell trait.

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.
