Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski dealing with back spasms

Nov 01, 2021

Tight end Rob Gronkowski left with back spasms after playing five snaps. Gronkowski had missed four games with injured ribs and Bucs head coach Bruce Arians expressed some regret about having Gronkowski on the field after the game.

“Gronk probably shouldn’t have played either,” Arians said, via Pewter Report. “But he kept begging to get in there. Then he re-injured himself.”

Related players: Cameron Brate, O.J. Howard

Fantasy Impact:

After a huge game against the Eagles a couple of weeks ago, Howard hasn't been a factor with Gronk out of the lineup over the last two weeks. Brate and Howard each only caught two balls in the loss to the Saints in Week 8. The Bucs have a Week 9 bye so we likely won't know much more about Gronk's status for Week 10 until the middle of next week.

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.
