Schedule may impact Titans' QB battle

Jun 11, 2012

Even if Titans QB Jake Locker proves himself ready for the starting role in preseason, if it is close, the team may consider as a secondary factor, the possibility of a tough early-season schedule that begins with New England, Houston and Detroit as a reason to go with the veteran experience of Matt Hasselbeck.

"You have to factor everything in, so sure, you're thinking about that. I could sit here and put a paper of pros and cons of who should start in that first game and there's a lot of reasons for both of them. That would not be influencing why we would do what we do. We've got to go with the guy who is ready to help us win," HC Mike Munchak said.

Fantasy Impact:

This is one of the toughest preseason QB battles to call and whoever wins the job should be a solid fantasy QB2 given the team's weapons at WR and RB.

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.
