49ers to place Jerick McKinnon on IR

Aug 30, 2019

The 49ers are expected to place RB Jerick McKinnon on injured reserve with a knee injury, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport notes it is unclear whether this will end McKinnon's season or if he will return at some point during the season. McKinnon had suffered a setback during his recovery after having just returned to practice on Tuesday. Injuries have gotten the better of McKinnon since signing a four-year, $30 million deal with the 49ers in 2018 after he tore his ACL before the start of last season. McKinnon had started training camp on the active/PUP list but was taken off the list, therefore he cannot be placed on reserve/PUP. Even if he comes back, the 49ers will continue to roll with Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida in the backfield.

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.
