WR Dez Bryant Will Play Sunday Night

Sep 06, 2010

Dallas rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant tweeted last week that he would play against Miami in the team's final preseason game.

It didn't happen. Now, what about the regular-season opener against Washington?

"We're going to let Dez play this week," Dallas head coach Wade Phillips said. "He can tweet that or whatever."

A high ankle sprain prevented Bryant from making his debut in the preseason. The talented receiver hasn't played in any game since last September.

What does Phillips expect?

"We'll watch him some as far as that's concerned," Phillips said. "He may be really excited. But I've got a feeling when the lights turn on, he's going to respond."

Fantasy Impact:

This news is not a major surprise, but it's nice to see Phillips confirm that Bryant will be back. Dez will likely start slow, but could be a major factor before the season is over.

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.
