Bengals believe Tyler Kroft injury not serious

Aug 03, 2016

The Bengals’ stock of tight ends named Tyler took its second hit of the year on Tuesday when Tyler Kroft injured his knee during practice.

Kroft has been the No. 1 tight end in camp with the team already missing Tyler Eifert as he makes his way back from offseason ankle surgery, but the team had to turn to non-Tyler options after Kroft left practice with a knee injury. Eifert’s absence may extend into the regular season, so a long absence for Kroft would likely force the team to look for other options at the position.

The Bengals don’t believe that things will play out that way. Geoff Hobson of the team’s website described the injury as a “jammed knee” and that “indications were that it wasn’t serious.”

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for the team as there's a chance Tyler Eifert may not be back for the start of the season, let alone be 100-percent. The story said the team may still need to add a TE to go along with Ryan Hewitt, who is an H-back.

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.
