Cowboys Beat: TE Jason Witten might stay in 'a ton' to help block J.J. Watt

Oct 01, 2014

Cowboys writer Rowan Kavner on how the team might deal with DE J.J. Watt: This could be a day where Jason Witten stays in a ton. I’d be shocked to see Watt ever getting matched up one-on-one without some sort of help, whether it’s a double team or a chip block. I think he’s going to be the biggest handful this offensive line sees all year, and he’ll have an effect on the game. But if there’s one thing the Cowboys have done well, it’s at least minimize the impact of a defensive line.

Fantasy Impact:

Witten has had a quiet season thus far and it doesn't sound like he will be running many routes in Week 5.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
