Giants HC Pat Shurmur doesn't commit to Eli Manning as starting QB for Week 3

Sep 16, 2019

After Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that the postgame press conference was not the place to have a conversation about whether to start Daniel Jones at quarterback.

That conversation is coming, though. Shurmur said at his Monday press conference that Eli Manning has been the team’s starter to this point, but stopped short of naming the veteran the starter for their Week Three game against the Buccaneers.

“We’re gonna talk about everything moving forward. I think that’s fair at this point,” Shurmur said, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. “To this point what we’ve done hasn’t been good enough.”

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, the Giants biggest problem may be on defense, and that won't go away with a QB change. However it doesn't mean it should prevent the team from changing either. Jones did look good in the preseason and if things continue at this pace, a change isn't far away, even if it doesn't happen this week.

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.
