Chargers Beat: Team may be using WRs too hard

Aug 01, 2016

The Chargers rely heavily on three-receiver formations and, like most NFL offenses, skew toward the pass.

Both approaches bear fruit, but the wideouts take the brunt of the workload. Hey, someone has to pay a steeper price for all the offense the NFL craves and fosters, and in San Diego's offense, it's the receivers.

Fantasy Impact:

The story talks about how injuries to WRs could be from using them too much. If the WRs survived the injuries, performances have dipped deeper into the season. The author feels running the ball and using two-TE sets could help save the WRs, but the team has struggled to run the ball in recent years. Unfortunately for the Bolts, WR Stevie Johnson went down on Sunday and the team is still waiting results of an MRI.

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.
