Darren Waller (ankle) expected to be ready for regular season

Aug 13, 2021

According to Tanner Reed of The Athletic, Las Vegas Raiders superstar tight end Darren Waller is expected to be ready for the regular season.

Fantasy Impact:

Waller has been sidelined since August 2nd with an ankle injury but is expected to be ready for the Raiders regular season opener. Both the coaching staff and quarterback Derek Carr do not appear to be too concerned with the prolific tight end missing time, largely due to the pre-existing rapport the quarterback and tight end have proven on the field. Waller's absence has allowed Carr to gain more trust in his other weapons, namely, Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards, and Foster Moreau. Fantasy managers should proceed as normal as far as it pertains to targeting Waller in fantasy drafts. Waller is currently ranked as our TE2 for the season.

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.

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.
