Bears RB David Montgomery (knee) to miss 4-5 weeks

Oct 05, 2021

Per source, tests showed Bears RB David Montgomery has a knee sprain that’s expected to keep him out 4-5 weeks.

Related players: Damien Williams, Khalil Herbert

Fantasy Impact:

The good news is, it's not a season-ending injury for Montgomery. The math says he could be back for a Week 9 game vs. Pittsburgh, but something to keep in mind is the team has a bye in Week 10, so perhaps a Week 11 return against Baltimore makes a lot more sense. That could also depend on how the Bears do record-wise in the coming weeks. Williams looks like he'll take over as the team's lead back, and of course has experience in that role most recently with the Chiefs. Herbert could also see some snaps and touches and is probably worth owning in deeper leagues or as a handcuff to Williams if there is room on your roster.

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.
