Jags Beat: Allen Hurns needs to stay on field

Oct 17, 2015

Allen Hurns can’t come off the field.

The Jaguars receiver has become a mainstay in the offense with fellow second-year veteran Marqise Lee out with various hamstring injuries.

Lee will eventually return, although he will miss his third game of the season Sunday when the Jaguars (1-4) host Houston (1-4).

When he does, Hurns shouldn’t lose his heavy snap count in the offense.

He’s proven to be too valuable.

Fantasy Impact:

Hurns leads the Jaguars in catches (27) and yards (430) this season with three touchdowns. He’s aiming to become the first Jaguars receiver to notch three consecutive 100-yard games since Jimmy Smith in 2004. Hurns is a major reason why quarterback Blake Bortles is starting to generate national attention thanks to his start of 1,299 passing yards in five games with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions.

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.
