Texans knew Andre Johnson wouldn't play Week 16

Dec 27, 2010

Wide receiver Andre Johnson was inactive on Sunday in Denver due to a lingering ankle injury. Johnson, who sprained his ankle during a Week 2 victory at Washington, missed the Week 4 contest at Oakland, but played in every other game in 2010.

Johnson’s absence was no surprise to quarterback Matt Schaub, who said after that the team “knew all week that he wasn’t going to play.”

284 yards shy of a third consecutive season with more than 1,500 yards receiving, Johnson said on Sunday after the loss that he’s not ruled out for the season finale at home against Jacksonville.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans obviously didn't consider fantasy owners playing in their Super Bowls this week as Johnson became a late scratch Sunday afternoon, causing owners to look for another option.

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.
