Gettis steps up at WR for Panthers

Oct 25, 2010

David Gettis played what was easily the best game of his brief NFL career, catching eight passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns as Carolina (1-5) won its first game of the season.

The final catch came when Panthers quarterback Matt Moore went right back to Gettis in a similar situation. Trailing 20-13 with a third-and-2 at the San Francisco 23 and 1 minute, 59 seconds to go, Moore went back to Gettis deep.

Gettis is a sixth-round draft choice out of Baylor whom the Panthers hope will turn into their version of New Orleans receiver Marques Colston. Moore targeted Gettis nine times in Sunday's game. Gettis caught eight of those, including a 39-yard deep ball and an 18-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Fantasy Impact:

Gettis is a guy to keep an eye on, as the Panthers were desperately hurting for a WR2 to step up alongside of Steve L. Smith. The news bodes well for Smith owners too as it may free him up a bit more.

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.
