NFL will not place Antonio Brown on exempt list

Sep 13, 2019

The NFL will not place Patriots WR Antonio Brown on the commissioner's exempt list, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Dolphins, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

There was some wonder about whether the league would place Brown on the commissioner's exempt list with Brown facing sexual assault and rape charges. But because he is facing a civil lawsuit, not a criminal lawsuit, the NFL has chosen not to exercise the option of the exempt list. The question now is how much will Brown play Sunday. The talent is unquestioned. There are also plenty of mouths to feed now in New England. We currently have Brown ranked No. 30 among wide receivers in PPR and third among Patriots wide receivers, behind Julian Edelman (No. 14) and Josh Gordon (No. 29). Brown hasn't spent much practice time with the Patriots but has been practicing. But the talent alone makes him at least flex-worthy.

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.

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.
