Andy Reid sees RB Jamaal Charles knee checkup as a positive

Nov 01, 2016

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said it’s not necessarily a cause for alarm that running back Jamaal Charles went to see Dr. James Andrews, as he continues to gradually work his way back from last year’s torn ACL.

“I think it’s a positive thing,” Reid said, via Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star. “He’s been checking with Dr. Andrews. This person has done his surgery, which this isn’t uncommon. Let’s just figure out what it is and go from there.“He had a little swelling in it, so let’s figure out what it is.”

Related players: Spencer Ware, Charcandrick West

Fantasy Impact:

The problem for the Chiefs now is Spencer Ware suffered a concussion last week leaving Charcandrick West as their top back. If Ware and Charles can't go, they are now a bit thin at the position, but Knile Davis is back on the market for a possible reunion.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
