Schefter: Saints QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures

Nov 16, 2020

Saints’ QB Drew Brees has multiple rib fractures on both sides of his chest and a collapsed lung on the right side.

Related players: Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Reports said HC Sean Payton is not announcing a starter for Sunday or Brees’ status at this time, but this is obviously worth monitoring as Brees is going to miss time. Winston took over for Brees, but Hill is also lurking as a possible candidate. Even if Winston starts, it's possible Hill gets more involved in the offense with Brees out. Hill is probably worth an add even if the Saints wait until later in the week to make the announcement, as Hill is considered a tight end by hosts like ESPN. Although, perhaps his position changes if he's named the starting QB.

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.
