Victor Cruz says he'll 'absolutely' be ready Week 1

Aug 27, 2013

Is Giants WR Victor Cruz really sure that he'll be ready to play in the opener?

"Yeah, absolutely," he said. "I knew initially that (his bruised heel) was just a small bump in the road and that I just needed some time off to get some down time off the boot and off the foot and get things going the right way."

Fantasy Impact:

Cruz says his foot feels better and knows he still has some time to recuperate before taking on Dallas Week 1. If there's still a chance to get Rueben Randle has a handcuff, it's probably a good idea, but Cruz looks like a go to open the season and should be a solid play.

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.
