Chargers Beat: WR Mike Williams (shoulder) may miss 4-6 weeks

Aug 25, 2020

Wide receiver Mike Williams sat out practice Tuesday because of the sprained shoulder he suffered diving for a pass Sunday, and he won’t be returning to the field any time soon.

NFL Network reported Tuesday that Williams is expected to miss two to four weeks, but I’m told that timeline is extremely optimistic. According to a team source, four to six weeks is the more realistic timeline, and the Chargers are preparing for the possibility of playing without Williams for a majority of September.

Fantasy Impact:

Jalen Guyton, Darius Jennings, Tyron Johnson and Jason Moore all took reps with the first team but are unproven. The story added the Chargers passed on taking WR talent in the draft outside Joe Reed, who projects as more of a hybrid player, according to the story.

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.
