Texans Sign Grossman to One-Year Deal

Jun 11, 2009

Texans agreed to terms with QB Rex Grossman on a one-year, $620,000 contract.

If Grossman passes his physical, as expected, he'll sign a one-year contract Friday worth $620,000 — the minimum for a seven-year veteran. Grossman, who turns 29 in August, was a first-round draft choice by the Chicago Bears in 2003. After spending six seasons with the Bears, they elected not to re-sign him, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The Texans already have three veterans — Matt Schaub, Dan Orlovsky and Alex Brink. They aren't planning to take four quarterbacks to training camp, which could be bad news for Brink, a seventh-round pick in 2008.

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.
