Vikings turning to Nick Mullens at QB

Dec 12, 2023

The Vikings are officially turning to Nick Mullens.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters in his Tuesday press conference that Mullens will start against the Bengals on Saturday afternoon. Mullens came in to finish Sunday’s 3-0 victory in Week 14, completing 9-of-13 passes for 83 yards as he led them on the drive that produced the only points of the game. The Vikings had also traded for Mullens, wanting a better backup for Kirk Cousins. Mullens recently came off IR but the team had already traded for Dobbs, who started his Viking career off hot but has since struggled. Mullens and the Vikings could also have Justin Jefferson for this week's game, which would give the QB a huge boost.

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.
