Packers Beat: TE RIchard Rodgers to become 'a bigger player' down the stretch

Oct 30, 2014

Vic Ketchman of Packers.com believes that TE Richard Rodgers has upside in his rookie season: He can block and catch. That’s becoming a rare combination in tight ends. It means he can be an inline blocker and a deep-seam receiver. That’s a special combination and I think he’s going to become a bigger player in this offense in the second half of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers saw more than two targets for the first time in Week 8 against the Saints, posting four catches for 58 yards. His Snap % has been over 50% in the last two weeks after being in the 20%-48% range for most of the season.

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.
