Payton: QB Taysom Hill (concussion) 'on schedule'

Nov 02, 2021

Sean Payton on Taysom Hill: "He's progressing well. He's on schedule."

Related players: Trevor Siemian, Jameis Winston, Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

We'll assume Payton means Hill is on schedule to pass protocol and also assume if that's the case, Hill will start for the Saints with Winston now done for the season. There are a lot of ifs here, and if Hill has a setback or isn't on schedule to play in Week 9, Siemian will likely get the nod. We'll continue to monitor but at least for now, Hill looks to be the assumed starter once he's cleared. As we know from the past, Hill under center potentially means big downgrades for those around him thanks to his rushing ability, perhaps especially Kamara.

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.
