Panthers back off on tinkering with Delhomme

Oct 29, 2009

Not only did Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme get a chance to keep his job Wednesday, he might be getting a chance to be himself again.

Along with retaining the starting position, the coaching staff has agreed to back off some of the micro-managing of Delhomme's mechanics — which some feel has held him back this year.

Two sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Herald on Wednesday that quarterbacks coach Rip Scherer had agreed to pull back some of his technical suggestions, and let Delhomme again play the more spontaneous style he's accustomed to.

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.
