Tom Brady willing to let Aaron Dobson make the "tough plays"

Aug 09, 2013

Patriots WR Aaron Dobson returned Wednesday and had a big performance that included a leaping catch in double coverage to haul in a deep Brady toss. The eye-popping play drew a huge cheer from his Patriots teammates, and even wowed some of the Eagles faithful in attendance. Tom Brady’s willingness to allow Dobson to make tough plays has become a noticeable trend over the past two weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Most of the buzz in Patriots camp has been about Danny Amendola, Kenbrell Thompkins, Zach Sudfeld and Dobson. Julian Edelman has the most experience and will also be in the mix. Brady's willingness to throw it to Dobson shows a level of trust that is important now more than ever in New England.

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.

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.
