Chance Julius Thomas returns for Week 13

Nov 24, 2014

More healing is necessary but there's a chance Broncos tight end Julius Thomas will return to play in the AFC West showdown Sunday night at Kansas City.

Thomas missed the Broncos' 39-36 victory Sunday against Miami and all but a few plays in their previous week's loss at St. Louis because of a severely sprained left ankle.

"I have had better days, and I have had worse days," Thomas said Monday. "You hope you just wake up one day and it feels good again, but that didn't happen last week. But it has improved."

Thomas made an NFL-record 12 touchdown receptions through nine games. He had such a big lead that two weeks later he still tops all NFL players in touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

Jacob Tamme would likely play in place of Thomas but had just one catch for -1 yard in Week 12 against the Dolphins. Because of that, and despite the offense he plays in, owners would have to consider him a risky start.

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.
