Not as much optimism on Alex Smith starting Sunday for Washington

Dec 26, 2020

Washington QB Alex Smith felt sore from his calf injury Saturday and there is now not as much optimism on him playing Sunday as there was on Friday.

Fantasy Impact:

Washington will check on Smith Sunday morning. They take on the Panthers at 4:05. Dwayne Haskins will start if Smith cannot go. Washington is already expected to be without Terry McLaurin, so the offense will take a dip against a Panthers defense that held the Packers to just three points in the second half in Week 15. Washington is looking to clinch their first division title since 2015 with a win plus a Giants loss.

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.
