Hicks had good things to say about Stafford

May 23, 2009

Lions DE Eric Hicks had good things to say about rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. "He's coming out here and working hard," Hicks said. "He's definitely living up to the hype, making good passes and showing his leadership out there with the second group." Daunte Culpepper still is getting the majority of reps with the first team, and Stafford appears to be the backup ahead of Drew Stanton. "Any time you have a high draft pick who enters the equation, it is going to change the dynamics," coach Jim Schwartz said. "Everybody in the locker room knows where the guy was picked. He knows. The city of Detroit knows."

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.

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.
