Pats cut Travaris Cadet

Sep 29, 2015

Once thought to be a frontrunner for the third-down back job, Travaris Cadet has been released by the New England Patriots.

The team made the move in order to fit linebacker Jon Bostic onto the roster. Bostic, a third-year pro, was acquired in a trade with Chicago Monday.

Cadet suffered a hamstring strain during practice on Aug. 8 and missed virtually the entire month. Still, he made the initial 53-man roster, but was inactive in two of the Patriots' first three games.

He signed a two-year deal this past offseason after spending three years with the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

We just posted a news story Monday from a beat writer who said not to count out Cadet for a potential bigger, future role with the team. The Pats could still bring him back if he doesn't find work, but for now this is great news for Dion Lewis owners. James White is still a similar back on the NE roster but Lewis looks like he'll keep his role for a while.

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.
