Case Keenum will start for Texans in Week 7

Oct 17, 2013

QB Case Keenum will start for the Texans on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak announced his decision after ruling out Matt Schaub, who is recovering from an ankle and foot injury.

"We're struggling and we're looking for a spark," Kubiak said, adding that Keenum deserves the chance.

Fantasy Impact:

It's bad news for the Texans' pass offense that Schaub won't be healthy enough to play. Keenum was undrafted, but had three very productive seasons at Houston, throwing for an average of 5,440 yards and 45.3 TDs in his final three (full) seasons in college. He's largely unknown on the NFL level, which makes Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins and Garrett Graham dicey starts against the Chiefs.

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.
