Patriots WR Julian Edelman out three weeks with thumb injury

Jul 22, 2019

New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman will miss about three weeks due to a thumb injury, per Adam Schefter and Field Yates of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Edelman held his youth camp over the weekend and was wearing a brace over his thumb. Schefter points out it is unclear if he suffered a break or sprain of his thumb while catching a pass. In any event, Edelman will miss some time and there's a good chance he will not play in the Patriots' preseason opener on August 8th against the Detroit Lions, though he may not have played even if he was healthy, as starters tend to see very little playing time in the first preseason game. With Edelman out, Schefter and Yates expect more practice reps for receivers such as first-round pick N'Keal Harry, Phillip Dorsett, Braxton Berrios, Dontrelle Inman and Maurice Harris.

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.
