BREAKING: Hakeem Nicks to miss time

Nov 22, 2010

The Giants' receiving corps is about to be further depleted.

Hakeem Nicks will be out of action with a lower leg injury, according to two people with knowledge of the health of the Giants' leading receiver. The people requested anonymity because all injury reports are to be officially announced by Giants coach Tom Coughlin.

The exact nature of the injury and the timetable for Nicks' recovery are unclear, but Coughlin is set to speak with reporters this afternoon.

Nicks has had a few ankle injuries this season, but nothing so severe that it has knocked him out of action.

Fantasy Impact:

The reports on just how long are sketchy right now, but three weeks seems to be a pretty common. Mario Manningham was already worth picking up but he now becomes the Giants WR1 is both Nicks and Steve Smith are out next week. Derek Hagan, who caught a TD last week, and Duke Calhoun, who made his first catch last week, are next in line.

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.

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.
