O'Brien: Talks with Andre Johnson have been 'very positive'

May 17, 2014

Texans HC Bill O’Brien did acknowledge his recent talks with WR Andre Johnson have been encouraging, adding he has a “tremendous amount of respect” for the Texans’ longest-tenured player.

“The conversations that Andre and I have had have been very positive about what we’re doing here as a team. Obviously, offensively, what we’re doing here,” O’Brien said. “We’ve had good communications. But as far as what Andre said, I’ll let him speak for himself.”

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson has been mulling his future in Houston, so it's good to hear that he's at least been in contact with his new coach.

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.
