DeSean Jackson is out, Maclin now the man

Dec 05, 2009

For the first time since Desean Jackson exploded out of the chute as a rookie, the Eagles will find out what their team is like without the greyhound-quick wide receiver.

Because he has experienced post-concussion symptoms and perhaps because of the sharper focus on those types of injuries in the NFL, Jackson will not play tomorrow at Atlanta.

Who will stretch the Falcons' secondary and who will return punts? Jeremy Maclin is the answer to both questions, although past performance would seem to indicate that he'll have more success in the former role.

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.
