Bills Beat: WR Sammy Watkins (ribs) 'definitely isn't 100 percent'

Sep 11, 2014

Bills beat writer Mike Rodak: I think Watkins' rib injury was an issue in Chicago; he definitely isn't 100 percent. How long will it take until he's back at full health? It could take a month or more, given the area of the body where he was hit. The Bills leaned more on Woods and their running backs in the passing game in Week 1, although Watkins could've had a big catch in the third quarter if Manuel didn't overthrow him down the left sideline. Defenses still will have to account for Watkins every week, often with their best cover man.

Fantasy Impact:

Watkins is worth holding. He's an explosive player who should be a target-hog for the Bills. Owners may have to sit through some lean weeks until he starts producing on Sundays.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
