Pats WR Chris Hogan, QB Tom Brady have high success rate

Oct 31, 2016

If you're looking for efficiency, it doesn't get much better than Chris Hogan and Tom Brady.

Since his Week 5 return, Brady has targeted Hogan 12 times. The duo has connected for 11 completions at an average of 24.5 yards per catch.

That's an incredibly high success rate, especially when you consider the nature of most of Hogan's routes. As evidenced by the gaudy yards-per-catch figure, many of these completions have come on downfield throws. These are generally low-percentage plays.

Fantasy Impact:

Hogan now has receptions of 63, 53, 43, 39, and 37 yards as a member of the Patriots. In four seasons with the Bills, he had only three receptions of 35+ yards.
Hogan is on pace for 782 receiving yards, which would best his current career-high by over 300 yards. After Week 8, Hogan and Rob Gronkowski are two of only three NFL players averaging 20 yards per catch or better. Pittsburgh's Sammie Coates is the other.

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.
