In the latest sign that Brett Favre is planning to end his retirement and play in the NFL in 2009, a report out Monday says that he is set to have surgery this week to repair his injured throwing shoulder. The St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting that Favre will meet with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday and have surgery later in the week to repair a partially torn biceps tendon in his right shoulder. He would then rehab the shoulder for six to eight weeks, meaning a full recovery could be expected in time for the start of training camp.

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.
