Panthers Beat: Kelvin Benjamin the early MVP of camp

Aug 09, 2015

Whether it was intentional or not, head coach Ron Rivera sent a message to Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin in June when he publicly said the wide receiver being overweight might have contributed to him missing most of OTAs with hamstring injuries.

Benjamin reported in the best shape of his college or professional career. He looks more like a wide receiver than a tight end, as he sometimes did last year. He appears poised for a big second season. As fellow wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said, Benjamin is “the lead dog.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Benjamin had a nice rookie season and could be poised for a better sophomore season with another year in the system. He cracks our top-20, coming in at 17 putting him in WR2 range.

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.
