'Boys RB Barber will miss Week 13

Dec 03, 2010

Cowboys running back Marion Barber will not play on Sunday against Indianapolis, owner/GM Jerry Jones said Thursday night.

Barber injured his calf in the fourth quarter of Dallas' loss to New Orleans on Thanksgiving. He missed his third straight practice on Thursday.

Barber, listed as questionable on the team's injury report, has rushed for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Before his injury, Felix Jones had more carries than Barber in two of the last three games.

Jones said that Tashard Choice, who has only 14 carries, will see more action against the Colts with Barber out.

Fantasy Impact:

It's an interesting matchup this week against a Colts team that ranks 29th against the rush. Dallas' defense will have to keep this game close, though, so the offense can use the running game. Felix Jones is a much better play, while Choice is a borderline RB3 despite the increased workload.

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.
