DEN QB Orton to get big workload vs. Jets

Oct 15, 2010

It's rare that Broncos coach Josh McDaniels will place a burden on one particular player.

But with an ailing defense, a stalled running game and a short-handed special-teams unit heading into Sunday's game against the New York Jets, McDaniels had no problem doing just that.

"This is a big week for Kyle Orton," McDaniels said. "That's what I think."

McDaniels said it will be up to Orton, the starting quarterback, to diagnose the Jets' complex variety of blitzes and make sure the offensive line understands who to block.

Orton is second in the league in passing yards, with 1,733, and is averaging 346.6 yards per game. The Jets' defense is allowing only 234.6 passing yards a game and has 12 sacks in five games.

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.
