Eagles promote WR Greg Ward, Alshon Jeffery status in doubt

Sep 21, 2019

The Eagles promoted WR Greg Ward to their active roster from the practice squad, placing OT Jordan Mailata on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Impact:

While Ward isn’t a fantasy option right now and Mailata was always a backup tackle and more of an experiment, the impact here has to do with Alshon Jeffery. The move to promote Ward likely means the Eagles feel the chances of Jeffery playing Sunday are not good and the Eagles would have otherwise only carried three active wide receivers on Sunday against the Lions with DeSean Jackson having already been ruled out. Keep a close eye on the inactives Sunday morning. The Eagles play at 1:00, so a decision will be made by 11:30, allowing Jeffery owners a viable chance to swap out Jeffery for another option if he indeed ruled out Sunday. Nelson Agholor will likely lead the Eagles receivers in targets with Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside also in the mix.

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.
