Randall Cobb expected to play Week 1

Sep 01, 2015

Despite the scare he gave the Packers when he hobbled off the field last Saturday, Randall Cobb is expected to play in the team's first game of the season, according to both Fox Sports and ESPN.

Fox Sports' report quoted a source who said that Cobb "is going to be fine." ESPN also cited a source, reporting that the Packers believe Cobb has a "good chance" to play against the Bears on September 13.

On just the team's third offensive play on Saturday, Cobb landed on his right shoulder after trying to catch a pass. Cobb reportedly suffered a sprained shoulder, according to both NFL Media and ESPN, with Ian Rapoport calling it an AC joint sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

With Jordy Nelson already out for the season, the news of Cobb's fast recovery should ease the minds of the Packers, as he's expected to fill Nelson's void as Aaron Rodgers' No. 1 target. Last season, Cobb caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns.

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.
