Whisenhunt expects Leinart to be 'the guy'

Aug 02, 2010

QB Matt Leinart said he’d like to get a little more work in preseason games than maybe a starter normally would.

“I know you want to see a lot of guys get work but I think I fit in that mold.”

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he hasn’t made any decision on that, noting Anderson needs to get some reps with the starters too, just because both quarterbacks need to be ready.

“Let’s be clear,” Whisenhunt said. “My expectation is Matt is the guy.”

Fantasy Impact:

Leinart barely projects as a backup at 4for4 this year and has an ADP of round 18, meaning he may not get drafted in a lot of leagues. There's some potential fantasy value there, though, if you're willing to take a shot later on. He's certainly not worth reaching a whole lot for, but is surrounded by some nice talent.

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.
