Arbitrator: Adrian Peterson can stay on commissioner's exempt list

Nov 18, 2014

The NFL won an arbitration hearing regarding Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson as arbitrator Shyam Das ruled that the league can keep him on the commissioner's exempt list.

Peterson plans to file an appeal of his punishment, which stems from his no contest plea in a child abuse case where the NFL star admitted that he hit his four-year-old son with a wooden switch and inflicted injuries to his thighs, genitals, buttocks, hands and back.

Das ruled that Peterson "failed to establish on this record that the NFL violated either the letter agreement or the CBA."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said that Peterson will stay on the exempt list while he appeals the suspension - and the piece added this ruling pretty much ensures Peterson won't play again this season. At this point, it's looking like owners can safely drop Peterson. It's also very possible AP has played his last snap as a Viking. His keeper status is very much in question.

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.
