Nov 11, 2023

Saints WR Michael Thomas was arrested Friday night on misdemeanor charges of simple battery and criminal mischief and was later released.

Fantasy Impact:

From Kat Terrell: "Thomas was arrested following an altercation with a man who was doing construction work on a house being built in Thomas' neighborhood. The man stated that Thomas yelled at him about parking in front of his house and issued verbal threats.

According to the man's statement, Thomas was also upset that the man began recording him during the incident and threw a brick at his windshield, which caused 'little if any damage.' The man alleged Thomas said he did not want to be recorded, shoved him and knocked the phone out of his hands."

Thomas is the second Saints receiver arrested in the past month. Chris Olave was arrested for speeding on October 23. The Saints said Friday they were aware of the situation and were gathering information.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
