Umenyiora appears to have been demoted

Dec 04, 2009

The NFL Network reported on Wednesday night Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora would play only on passing downs. While Umenyiora figures to see action on first and second down on Sunday against the Cowboys, there’s suddenly evidence he won’t be out there as much as he has in the past.

And that, for the first time since 2004, he won’t make a start when healthy.

During the portion of Friday’s practice open to the media, Umenyiora was working with the second-team base defense. In his place at right end was Mathias Kiwanuka.

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.
