Report: Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders has a torn Achilles

Dec 05, 2018

Terrible news: Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders has torn Achilles, per source. Happened right in front of me at practice. He was cutting in on shallow in-route against air when he went down.

Fantasy Impact:

The Broncos will probably utilize a raw three-receiver set consisting of Courtland Sutton and the 6’4” Tim Patrick outside, and DaeSean Hamilton playing for Sanders in the slot. It’s an upgrade for all three players, but it’s hard to get too excited about Patrick or Hamilton given the combined nine catches for 134 yards and a touchdown they have this season. Sutton looks like a sold WR2 moving forward. Consider Hamilton and Patrick to be upside WR5s pending playing time and usage. In the preseason, Patrick caught six passes for 70 yards while Hamilton nabbed three balls for 36 yards.

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.
