Carson Palmer expected to start against the Chiefs

Oct 19, 2011

Schefter on the Raiders QB situation: "No big surprise, but Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer is expected to start Sunday versus the Chiefs."

Fantasy Impact:

Actually, this is a bit surprising considering Palmer hasn't played since the end of the 2010 season and is unfamiliar with the Oakland receivers. We thought that the team would let Kyle Boller start against the Chiefs, which would give Palmer three weeks to get ready for the Broncos after Raiders' Week 8 bye. We're not expecting much from Palmer in his first start with limited preparation. The Raiders are likely to go run-heavy with Darren McFadden and Michael Bush.

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.
