Texans Beat: QB Tom Savage gives team better chance to win

Dec 19, 2016

Though it was just a small sample size, Tom Savage showed Sunday that he gives the Texans a better chance than Brock Osweiler to win. At the very least, he earned the right to get another chance to play, this time with a full week to prepare as the team’s starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Savage replaced Osweiler and led the Texans to a come from behind victory. As the story pointed out, one area Osweiler has especially struggled in this season is throwing downfield. On passes thrown 15 yards or more downfield on Sunday, Osweiler was 0-for-2, with two interceptions. Savage was 4-for-8 for 89 yards, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Texans host the Bengals on Christmas Even night in the late game in Week 16.

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.
