Report: Patriots sign Reggie Wayne

Aug 24, 2015

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Patriots have signed wide receiver Reggie Wayne to a one-year contract.

Wayne, who had triceps and knee surgery this offseason, took a physical with the Patriots over the weekend. It would appear he proved healthy enough for the Patriots to see if there’s still enough left in the tank for Wayne to help their offense during the 2015 season.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s an interesting signing by the Patriots, who seemingly have plenty of depth at receiver. Wayne joins Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson and Brandon Gibson. He’s likely going to compete with Amendola, Dobson and Gibson for WR3 snaps, though the signing may have something to do with LaFell’s mysterious foot injury. We’re not expecting much out of Wayne assuming Edelman and LaFell are (and remain) healthy, but he could work his way into fantasy relevancy in PPR formats if there is an injury or two ahead of him.

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.
