Jags WR Cecil Shorts out Week 1

Sep 06, 2014

The Jacksonville Jaguars will open up their 2014 season against the Eagles minus a wide receiver.

Cecil Shorts was ruled out Saturday with a hamstring issue shortly before the team left for Philadelphia. The wideout left practice Thursday with tightness in the area and was limited in practice Friday.

Shorts also missed part of training camp with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen Robinson will now see increased time as a result with Marquis Lee starting on the opposite side. Allen Hurns could also contribute. Although risky, Lee would have the most potential of the three in a game the Jags are expected to trail in. We rank Lee 49th, so we see him safer in deeper leagues.

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.
