Washington QB Alex Smith expected to start on PUP list

Jul 27, 2020

Washington quarterback Alex Smith has been cleared to return to full football activity after missing more than a year due to the severe leg fractures he suffered in a 2018 game, but he’s not expected to be on the active roster right away.

According to multiple reports, Smith is likely to land on the physically unable to perform list after he takes his physical with the team on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith won’t be allowed to practice with the team until he’s off the list, but that may not lead to him missing any practice sessions. All NFL teams will be opening camp with meetings and strength and conditioning work before practices start on the 16th day of camp. Padded practices are allowed a few days after that, the story said.

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.
