Chargers, Cardinals, Vikings clinch divisions

Dec 20, 2009

With all but two games in Week 15 in the books, here’s a look around the league at the teams who clinched this week, and those who were eliminated.

The Chargers, who had already secured a playoff spot, clinched the AFC West by defeating the Bengals 27-24, and the Broncos’ 20-19 loss to the Raiders.

The Eagles clinched a playoff spot courtesy a 27-13 win over the 49ers, and the win by the Cowboys on Saturday night. The 49ers were eliminated with the loss.

The Cardinals clinched the NFC West with a 31-24 win over the Lions and the loss by the 49ers.

In the NFC North, the Vikings clinched the divison courtesy of the Packers’ loss to the Steelers.

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.
