DEN: WR Brandon Stokley shining

Aug 12, 2009

While Brandon Marshall makes all his news off the field -- he's asked the Denver Broncos for a raise and a trade and skipped offseason workouts in protest of his contract and medical treatment -- Brandon Stokley has established himself as Kyle Orton's top target.

Day after day they hook up for big plays, Stokley hauling in tough passes over the middle one minute and touch passes in the end zone the next.

"Brandon Stokley is one of the toughest slot receivers that I've coached against and he's everything I thought he was when I came here: very crafty, smart, tough, physical, quick," coach Josh McDaniels said. "He just has a knack of how to get open and that's an invaluable skill for a receiver to have, especially on third down."

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.
