O'Brien: QB Brock Osweiler has 'command of the offense'

Aug 31, 2016

After three preseason games, Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said the thing that stands out about quarterback Brock Osweiler is the way he commands the offense.

Not that it came easy.

The story has been told about how hard Osweiler worked this offseason to learn the Texans' offense. O'Brien and offensive coordinator George Godsey's scheme is complex, and several players have said it took them more than a year to truly "get it."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Osweiler spent a lot of time learning the offense quickly and that it seems to be paying off. There doesn't seem to be a ton of fantasy hype around Osweiler with lots of higher-ranked options, but Osweiler has a stud WR in DeAndre Hopkins as well as some other up-and-comers. The Texans will likely stick to a run-first game plan, but the run game should also open things up, especially for play action. Osweiler at least should have some streaming value this season and is ranked 26th on our QB list.

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.
