Steelers place WR Markus Wheaton on IR

Nov 19, 2016

The Steelers also placed wide receiver Markus Wheaton and defensive end Cameron Heyward on their injured-reserve list and promoted running back Daryl Richardson from the practice squad.

Wheaton injured his shoulder in practice prior to last week’s game, while Heyward suffered a torn pectoral in last week’s game. Richardson could play Sunday as veteran running back DeAngelo Williams is still recovering from knee surgery.

Related players: Sammie Coates, Eli Rogers, Cobi Hamilton, Ladarius Green

Fantasy Impact:

The move clears the path at WR for Eli Rogers to pretty much be the team's WR2 option, at least until Sammie Coates can recover from a couple of broken fingers on the same hand. Cobi Hamilton should also be involved in the offense, but it could also opens the door for TE Ladarius Green to be more involved once he can get back into game shape.

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.
