Dolphins name QB Tannehill the starter

Aug 20, 2012

Ryan Tannehill is the Dolphins starting quarterback for Week 3 of the preseason and the regular season. Coach Joe Philbin announced the news on Monday at his press conference.

The news isn't a tremendous surprise, given that Tannehill received the start on Friday night against the Panthers, didn't totally mess himself and also managed to outperform Matt Moore in one fell swoop.

Fantasy Impact:

Tannehill hasn't turned the ball over this preseason despite not having overwhelming stats either. As we talked about before, he doesn't have the best WRs to work with, but does have Reggie Bush at RB to help his cause. It's hard to imagine he'll be a consistent, usable fantasy QB this season in standard leagues, but can be targeted in keeper or dynasty leagues.

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.
