Patriots WR Demaryius Thomas knocking 'a little rust off'

Aug 26, 2019

Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was added to the active roster in New England last week and he updated reporters Sunday on how he feels after returning to practice after rehabbing his torn Achilles.

Thomas said he has to knock a “little rust off” after such a long stay on the sideline, but feels confident he “can still go” well enough to help the Patriots offense in 2019. Thomas said he can feel his old explosiveness “here and there” as he regains his footing on the field.

Fantasy Impact:

The Patriots have parted ways with Dontrelle Inman and Maurice Harris recently, which cuts down on the competition Thomas will face for a spot on the 53-man roster but we’re still a few days away from knowing if Thomas will continue facing a challenge with the Patriots into the regular season, the story said.

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.
