Jameis Winston named Saints starting QB

Aug 27, 2021

The New Orleans Saints have named Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Winston won the job after a strong performance this past Monday during the Saints' preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winston is John Paulsen's QB29 at the moment. His passing floor and ceiling were always higher than Hill's, but the role Hill plays in the Saints offense still makes him a potential streamer in Superflex and 2QB 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.
