Arian Foster to have season-ending back surgery

Nov 10, 2013

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has decided to have season-ending surgery for a bulging disk in his back, sources told ESPN.

Foster was expected to meet with the Texans in the next day or two to help determine how soon he should have the surgery.

Fantasy Impact:

Arian Foster should head to IR later this week and is droppable in all redraft leagues. With Foster on the shelf, Ben Tate will continue to carry the load with Dennis Johnson, Ray Graham and Deji Karim behind him on the depth chart. Tate is playing with four broken ribs himself and is a free agent at the end of this season.

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.
