After big hit, Matt Cassel says he's fine

Sep 02, 2011

Many of the Chiefs’ starters played well into the fourth quarter of their 20-19 loss to the Packers, but injuries piled up along the way. Quarterback Matt Cassel, tight end Tony Moeaki, right tackle Barry Richardson and safety Eric Berry were injured in the first half.

It was unclear whether any of them would be ready to play Sept. 11 when the regular season begins with a game against the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium.

Cassel left the game in the second quarter when the wind was knocked out of him after a sack by 340-pound Howard Green. But Cassel said he’d ready to play against Buffalo.

“We were just being cautious,” Cassel said. “I wanted to go back in.

“Normally, I can take (getting hit by a 340-pound defender). I don’t know what happened. Actually, I think it was (landing on) the ball more than anything.”

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.
