Markus Wheaton expected to win WR2 job

Jun 05, 2014

There indeed is a lot of competition for the spot opposite Steelers WR Antonio Brown, but as a former third-round pick in 2013 who lit up training camp because of his ability to grasp the offense quickly and make plays while doing so … well, it’s safe to assume there is some expectation that Markus Wheaton should win the competition.

Fantasy Impact:

Martavis Bryant could potentially push Wheaton for starter's snaps, but for now it seems like Wheaton is penciled in as the starter.

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.
