Eagles expect to know Week 1 QB starter by Friday

Aug 28, 2018

If Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is any closer to being cleared for contact ahead of the Sept. 6 season-opener against the Atlanta Falcons, coach Doug Pederson still isn't letting on.

Though, he admits that he'll know whether the Week 1 starter at quarterback will be Wentz or Nick Foles by Friday, the day after the preseason finale against the Jets.

When will the public know?

"90 minutes before kickoff," a smiling Pederson said on Tuesday before practice at NovaCare Complex.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles open the season on Thursday, Sept. 6, so it makes sense a decision will have to be made. The story said Pederson has been impressed with Wentz's progress, and Wentz says his knee is healthy, but he'll have to be cleared by doctors to start Week 1. Wentz has said all along it's going to be a close call.

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.
