Pierre Thomas: I'm ready to go

Sep 24, 2009

Pierre Thomas pronounced himself ready after missing most of the past six weeks with a sprained right knee. He played one snap against Philadelphia, losing 4 yards on a swing pass. He also played on kick returns as a blocking back.

"Last week I had a bigger brace, so hopefully I can get into a smaller brace," Thomas said. "It felt a little funny with that brace on. My leg was a little heavy. It kind of fatigued me a little bit. I felt it on special teams. But hopefully I can get it a lot smaller and I can move a lot better, a lot faster and I won't fatigue as much.

"I felt a little rusty (against Philadelphia), especially on special teams, but I feel a lot more comfortable this week, and I'm ready to go."

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.

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.
