Beanie Wells vague about extent of knee surgery

May 23, 2012

Cardinals RB Beanie Wells has been working out on the side with an athletic trainer and does his regular rehabilitation. When asked if his knee surgery included the meniscus he replied, "Naw, not really meniscus. It was a little more complicated."

Asked later if he had microfracture surgery, Wells smiled as he walked into the locker room.

His agent, Sean Howard, told ESPN that the surgery was "a clean-out procedure" and said Wells did not undergo microfracture surgery or any other procedure requiring an extended recovery period.

Fantasy Impact:

We're not very high on Wells at the moment -- we have him ranked #30 in standard scoring formats. Not only is the knee a concern, but he's also feeling pressure from second-year man Ryan Williams, who is working his way back from his own knee injury.

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.
