Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back) goes on IR

Dec 26, 2016

The IR designations of tight end Tyler Eifert (back) and left guard Clint Boling (shoulder), who both missed Saturday night’s game in Houston, leave two open spots on the 53-man roster for the game against the Ravens (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) at Paul Brown Stadium.

Both have been hurt for much of the year. Eifert didn’t play the first six games with torn ankle ligaments and a back issue.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s a tough break for Eifert. It means his break-out year of 2015 with 13 touchdown catches is bracketed by two seasons he missed 23 of 32 games with injury. He still has five TD catches in eight games this season, one behind club-leader Brandon LaFell’s six.

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.
