Lions coach Jim Schwartz wouldn't rule out his top two...

Aug 15, 2009

Lions coach Jim Schwartz wouldn't rule out his top two receivers, Calvin Johnson and Bryant Johnson, but both are on the mend and neither is expected to play against the Falcons. The same is true for slot receiver Dennis Northcutt and John Standeford.

So the battle for the final one or two spots at receiver begins in earnest for a group that includes Keary Colbert and Adam Jennings -- two late-season additions in 2008 -- and a handful of new faces.

"You're gonna see a lot of our backups playing early, and I think it's gonna be exciting for those guys to play against the (starters), and also see who steps up in that group," Mayhew said. "The wide receiver group should be interesting. Adam Jennings, Derrick Williams, Eric Fowler, all those guys are kind of in a battle and it should be fun to watch those guys 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.
