Broncos RB Moreno to be placed on IR

Nov 14, 2011

Knowshon Moreno's season is over.

Head coach John Fox said today that Moreno will be placed on injured reserve after the running back tore his anterior cruciate ligament Sunday in Kansas City.

Moreno had an MRI today, and the results revealed that Moreno will need surgery. The Broncos will make a roster move to replace Moreno soon, Fox said. An option is likely practice squad running back Jeremiah Johnson, who has been with the Broncos since the start of training camp.

Fox said starting running back Willis McGahee is "day to day" with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lance Ball could see a significant increase in work with the loss of Moreno. McGahee will still be the starter, but if he can't go this week, a short week as the Broncos host the Jets Thursday, Ball could be a sneaky pickup against the Jets middle of the road rushing defense.

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.
