Andre Ellington (PCL) to miss 2 or 3 weeks

Sep 14, 2015

The Cardinals went to bed last night hopeful they avoided the worst with running back Andre Ellington.

But they’ll at least be without him for a few weeks.

According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, the Cardinals running back was diagnosed with a grade one posterior collateral ligament sprain in his right knee, and is expected to miss two or three weeks.

It’s the latest in a series of injuries for the Cardinals starter, who dealt with foot and core muscles last year.

Fantasy Impact:

That leaves the Cardinals in the hands of veteran Chris Johnson and rookie David Johnson in the backfield, and both showed flashes Sunday. David had a 55-yard touchdown catch-and-run which clinched their win over the Saints. HC Bruce Arians said in reports earlier they are prepared to let Chris Johnson lead the way running the ball. David Johnson's TD was his only touch, but he should get a few more in Week 2.

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.
