Stanton upbeat despite Lions' crowded QB ranks

May 05, 2009

Drew Stanton knows the situation now that the Lions have drafted quarterback Matthew Stafford No. 1 overall. But he isn't going to give up or try to force his way out. "It's one of those things that's going to be an uphill battle," Stanton said today after practice. "I'm aware of that. But it's a challenge that I'm going to have to try to overcome." Asked if he would like an answer about his future - if the Lions would let him go as soon as possible if he's not going to be in Detroit - he said: "I think that will eventually be discussed." But in the meantime, he's not going to entertain questions about leaving.

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.
