Pats extend TE Hernandez

Aug 27, 2012

On Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team agreed to terms on a contract extension with Hernandez as well.

It is a six-year deal that extends Hernandez's contract five more seasons through 2018.

It's a clear indicator that Belichick will go through the rest of the decade with the two-tight end set as the lead concept of his offense, and it's hardly the old paradigm of the receiving tight end and the blocking tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

Hernandez is a nice target for those who don't want to spend a high pick on Gronk or Jimmy Graham, which will likely cost a second rounder in your draft. Hernandez is ranked as our third-best TE option, but has an ADP of the 5th round.

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.
