Seattle QB Tavaris Jackson struggles again

Aug 21, 2011

The Minnesota Vikings were reunited Saturday night with an old friend, new Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. They didn't treat him very kindly.

Jackson was running for safety most of the night and struggled as the Vikings beat the Seahawks 20-7. He completed 11 of 21 passes for 75 yards and one interception that deflected off receiver Golden Tate’s hands and was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Marcus Sherels.

New Minnesota quarterback Donovan McNabb led a long drive that ended in the first of Ryan Longwell’s two field goals for Minnesota.

McNabb led a 13-play drive that started at the 1 and ended in Longwell’s 36-yard field goal. Longwell added a 34-yarder.

McNabb was 6 of 8 for 81 yards. Tristan Davis added a 35-yard TD run with 2:09 left for Minnesota’s first offensive touchdown of the preseason.

Fantasy Impact:

As long as Jackson is under center, Sidney Rice, Mike X Williams, and Zach Miller are all likely to struggle.

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.
