Giants WR Jerrel Jernigan may draw a start in Week 1

Aug 22, 2014

Recent whispers about wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan possibly being cut should be completely tabled. Jernigan started and played most of the first half with the starters. He had three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards. With Odell Beckham still injured, Jernigan is the heavy favorite to start Week 1 in Detroit.

Fantasy Impact:

Jernigan racked up 19 catches for 237 yards and two TDs in the final three games, making him the #2 WR in fantasy in that span. The arrival of Odell Beckham puts a damper on his 2014 outlook, but with Beckham sidelined, Jernigan could make some noise early in the season. The Giants will run a lot of three-wide sets.

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.
