Orton taking number-one snaps at Broncos camp

Aug 01, 2011

Tim Tebow is in a serious quarterback competition all right. He and Brady Quinn are neck and neck in the battle for the No. 2 quarterback spot.

Based on the way the reps were divided during the Broncos’ full-pad practice Monday, Kyle Orton is the Broncos’ No. 1 quarterback free and clear. There was no mixing in the other quarterbacks with the first-team offense. Orton took them all.

Occasionally, the veteran Quinn, the team’s No. 3 quarterback all of last season, mixed in ahead of Tebow with the No. 2 offense, although it still appears Tebow is the No. 2.

Fantasy Impact:

It seems like an Orton-to-Miami trade is becoming less likely. The Broncos, under Fox, want to run the ball more so, regardless, Orton's value will take a hit this year and those expecting to grab Tebow will have to wait it out a bit more. We had Tebow ranked 19th among our QBs, a sneaky QB2 option based on the potential rushing yards and TDs he could rack up. This situation needs some more time it looks like...

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.
