Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith, K Wil Lutz designated to return

Oct 19, 2021

The Saints designated linebacker Kwon Alexander, defensive end Marcus Davenport, and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith for return from injured reserve on Tuesday. They designated kicker Wil Lutz for return on Monday and all four players could be activated in time to play against the Seahawks on Monday.

Related players: Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris

Fantasy Impact:

Smith could help a receiving group that really lacks a top target. Callaway and Harris have led the way and have improved since the start of the season, but Smith could give the group a boost until Michael Thomas returns in a couple of weeks. Lutz had been a great kicking option in New Orleans, however this year's offense hasn't nearly been as high-powered as in previous years. Still, Lutz could be at least a solid kicker option if you're in the market.

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.
