Bears WR Kevin White (stress fracture) will undergo surgery, start season on PUP

Aug 15, 2015

Bears decided to have first-round WR Kevin White undergo surgery to repair stress fracture in his leg after another setback this week. White was coming along in his rehab after team held him back since end of OTAs then felt pain this week. Will start season on PUP.

Fantasy Impact:

White will apparently start the season on PUP so he’ll miss the first six games of the year. Even then, he’ll have to work his way back into shape, so we should only expect about a half season of production from him. He’s a late-round flier in leagues that have IR spots or other ways to stash injured players. His absence creates a big opportunity for Eddie Royal and Marquess Wilson, who should fill the WR2 and WR3 roles, respectively. Also look for Jay Cutler to lean on Martellus Bennett over the middle and in the red zone.

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.
