Chargers QB Philip Rivers (concussion) expected to play in Week 11

Nov 16, 2017

Rivers entered the NFL's concussion protocol following last week's game against the Jaguars. His playing status since has been murky, but head coach Anthony Lynn believes Rivers will play this week.

Lynn on River's playing status: "We think he'll play (Sunday), but that's up to the doctors. That's not my decision."

Fantasy Impact:

Rivers has been a dependable QB2 this season, scoring 14+ fantasy points in 7-of-9 games. If he plays this week, he faces a Bills defense with the eighth-toughest matchup against QBs, according to our aFPA metric.

Only one QB has scored multiple TDs versus the Bills this season (Jameis Winston, 3 in Week 7) and the Bills defense has held QBs without a passing TD four times this season. We currently have Rivers ranked as our No. 12 QB, but with the difficult matchup and concussion issue, we wouldn't fault you for looking elsewhere at the position this week.

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.
