Bell upbeat despite injury

Sep 21, 2009

Just when tailback Pierre Thomas finally returned from a sprained right knee, fellow tailback Mike Bell went down with a sprained right knee in the fourth quarter of New Orleans' 48-22 victory against the Philadelphia Eagels on Sunday.

Early indications were that Bell suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament -- the same injury that kept Thomas out for almost four weeks. But the Saints won't have a definitive diagnosis until Bell undergoes an MRI exam today. The diagnosis likely will not be revealed until Wednesday, at the earliest.

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.
