Lions offense struggling in preseason

Aug 20, 2013

The Lions first-team offense has yet to produce a touchdown in two games. It gained 68 yards in two series against the Jets, 88 in five drives against the Browns. They converted just seven first downs in seven drives.

QB Matt Stafford, 14-for-24 and 132 yards, has completed six passes to wide receivers, three to Calvin Johnson against the Jets and three to Patrick Edwards against the Browns. Take away a 28-yarder to Johnson and an 18-yard catch and run by Reggie Bush, and Stafford is averaging 7.2 yards on his other 12 completions.

Fantasy Impact:

It's only two preseason games. With the starters likely to play a lot in Week 3, there is plenty of time to build the momentum the team seems to need before the season starts. There's too much talent here to move any Lions down your board in a moment of panic.

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.
