Patriots sign Brandon Lloyd

Mar 17, 2012

Patriots have reached agreement with free-agent wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.

Fantasy Impact:

What Lloyd did in 2011 was rather remarkable. After coming off a career season in 2010 (77 catches for 1,448 yards and 11 TDs), he was traded midseason to the Rams, where he quickly found a groove with Sam Bradford, catching 51 passes for 683 yards and five TDs over the final 11 games. Given the circumstances, those are pretty impressive numbers. Lloyd expressed an interest in following Josh McDaniels to New England, where he's a great addition to an already stellar receiving corps. There isn't a ton of upside here since there are only so many targets to go around, but he'd add another dimension to a passing game that definitely needs another intermediate/deep threat.

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.
