Van Jefferson has a chance for significant role

Aug 13, 2021

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson has a chance to play a significant role this season.

Fantasy Impact:

The Van Jefferson hype machine took a hit when the Los Angeles Rams signed veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Still, according to Fowler, Jefferson may earn the number three wide receiver role and spell Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp in two wide sets. Fowler added that DeSean will still have his packages but that 'the Rams won't overload his snaps.' Currently 69th in our wide receiver rankings, Jefferson may see a value increase if/when he is officially named the number three. This news makes him an intriguing late-round flier, and someone who those who have already drafted may want to check the waiver wire for. DeSean Jackson's already tenuous value will take a hit if Fowler's prediction comes to fruition. This is a situation to monitor.

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.
