Freddie Kitchens on not playing Rashard Higgins: "We're trying to play the players that give us the best chance of winning"

Dec 11, 2019

Speaking to the media Wednesday, Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens was asked about not having WR Rashard Higgins play offense against the Bengals and he said: "We're trying to play the players that give us the best chance of winning, and that's strictly a week-to-week thing."

Fantasy Impact:

Higgins was thought to be the No. 3 receiver in Cleveland after the release of Antonio Callaway, but he played just 28 snaps in Week 13 against the Steelers and was an afterthought in Week 14. This isn't a resounding quote from the head coach either. He's buried behind Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry and the league's leading rusher, Nick Chubb. Higgins can safely sit on the waiver wire.

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.
