Mike Shanahan confirms RG3 should be ready Week 1

Aug 21, 2013

In the wake of meetings with Dr. Andrews, Redskins HC Mike Shanahan says QB Robert Griffin III remains on same path: "If there's no setbacks, he should be ready to go."

Fantasy Impact:

The news has been universally positive for Griffin this spring and summer, so this confirms the writing on the wall. Griffin will be out there Week 1 barring something unforeseen. He's a high-upside pick in the middle rounds. He's been coming off the board in the QB9 to QB11 range in most drafts.

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.
