Drew Brees 'expects' to start Week 4

Sep 28, 2015

Drew Brees will head into Week 4 the same way he went into Week 3 – optimistic but uncertain about whether he will be able to play with a bruised rotator cuff.

“I’m day-to-day. Obviously I plan to and expect to start on Sunday,” the New Orleans Saints quarterback said in his weekly postgame interview with Cox Sports Television following the Saints’ 27-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers. “But if I don’t, we’re in good hands with Luke [McCown].”

Brees reiterated that his ability to play against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday night will be a matter of “functionality.”

Fantasy Impact:

A report we had Sunday night said Brees is a long shot to play in Week 4. Brees may just be preparing in case, but owners should probably plan on being without him again.

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.
