Lions TE Michael Roberts becoming a receiving option

Oct 22, 2018

Based off Sunday, when Michael Roberts became more of a receiving option in the Lions' passing game than any other tight end this season, there is something to work with.

Coming out of Toledo, the potential always existed. He was a 6-foot-4 reliable red zone target with a knack for the end zone – 16 touchdowns on 45 receptions his final year with the Rockets – but as a rookie he did little. He often played behind the since-departed Eric Ebron and Darren Fells, so the opportunity didn’t exist.

Fantasy Impact:

Roberts caught two TDs in the game. The story said Roberts' bright future was a big part of why the Lions cut Ebron. The story added Roberts is agile, relatively fast and he has the body and hands to become a potential difference-maker.

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.
