Now with Favre, Vikings can open playbook

Aug 25, 2009

Former Vikings receiver Cris Carter, who immediately and accurately announced on ESPN last Tuesday that Brett Favre would start against the Kansas City Chiefs, had another bold prediction.

On ESPN's SportsCenter and NFL Live Tuesday, Carter suggested that Vikings coach Brad Childress would open up his entire playbook to Favre, as opposed to limited versions with incumbents Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.

"From what I know," Carter said, "through talking with people with the Vikings, Brad Childress only has probably 50 percent of the offense — maybe a little more than that — in with Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.

"The reason why?" Carter said. "Because he thought 50 percent of it was all they could handle."

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.
