Sweed finally catching on in offense

Aug 14, 2009

Everyone noticed the difference in Limas Sweed, even the second-year receiver himself, who called it "night and day" from 2008 to 2009. His offensive coordinator, Bruce Arians, said he was playing faster because he was more comfortable with the offense. And Sweed said he was running better routes because he knew where he was supposed to be and understanding how to get open.

But the difference was more than that. It has been evident in training camp, where Sweed has been making tough catches and holding onto easy passes -- something he mostly didn't do last season, not even in practice.

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.
