Brandin Cooks (thumb) has surgery, out 4-6 weeks

Nov 17, 2014

Saints WR Brandin Cooks had surgery on that injured thumb and is actually out 4-6 weeks, per his agent.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks' best-possible return based on this new timetable is Week 16, a home game against Atlanta. While it's a good matchup, one would have to wonder just how much Cooks is used anyway, so you may want to consider dropping him in redraft leagues. Kenny Stills stands to benefit with Cooks out of the lineup. Pierre Thomas should also return to draw some targets.

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.
