Optimism that Russell Wilson returns to practice this week

Aug 04, 2024

There is optimism at Steelers camp that quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) could return to practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

"The plan, to my understanding, is he's going to see the doctor again this coming week," Pelissero said (H/T Sports Illustrated). "There's optimism that he's going to be fine, be able to get back out there and take back some of those reps that he's been giving up to [Justin Fields]."

Wilson is expected to step right back into the QB1 role when he does return to practice, but his absence has allowed Justin Fields to get plenty of reps with the first team and try to close the gap in the competition. Wilson is a low-end QB2 in our current rankings.

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.
