Steelers WR Markus Wheaton says shoulder is 'fine'

Sep 19, 2016

Steeler WR Markus Wheaton said missing his second consecutive game to start the season Sunday was a “coach's call” and that his shoulder is “fine.” He's just got to get re-immersed into the offense and back into football shape.

“Honestly, I think (health-wise) I'm fine,” Wheaton said. “It's just a matter that I missed a lot of football. And so with that little bit of practice it was an easy call for him.”

Fantasy Impact:

Wheaton practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday of last week – though, he said, largely on the scout team – and was limited in practice Friday. Sammie Coates caught two balls for 97 yards in Week 2 and it may be hard for the team to keep Coates off the field even when Wheaton is back.

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.
