Childress: ‘I’m going forward’

Jul 29, 2009

Vikings coach Brad Childress said today that he’s moving forward without Brett Favre and that he’s “more than content” with having Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels compete for the starting quarterback job.

Childress’ comments came one day after Favre told the Vikings that he wasn’t going to end his retirement to play for the team and on the same day players began to arrive in Mankato for the opening of training camp. Practices will begin on Friday morning.

Asked if there was still a chance that Favre could change his mind and wind up playing for the Vikings, Childress said: “You know what, there’s not a chance from my standpoint. I’m going forward with the guys that we have. We’ll have a great competition, we’ll have a great camp and be a good football team one way or the other. [That] is what I told Brett, [That] is what I told our team.”

Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, have made it clear that they are not shutting the door on Favre still making a return to the NFL.

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.
