Scheffler emerging as favorite of Orton's

Aug 21, 2009

With Broncos WR Brandon Marshall out of the wide receiver rotation for three practices over the past two days, tight end Tony Scheffler emerged as one of the favorite targets of quarterback Kyle Orton.

Scheffler made one of the best plays of camp to close out Wednesday's evening practice when he made a diving one-handed touchdown catch, beating double coverage.

Such play of late has been a positive development for Scheffler, whose role in coach Josh McDaniels' offense was unclear as camp began three weeks ago.

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.

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.
