Bucs RB Doug Martin (ribs) won't play second preseason game

Aug 20, 2016

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin will sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to bruised ribs, a team source told ESPN.

Martin is sitting out for "precautionary reasons," the source said, and the injury is not expected to affect him beyond this week.

The injury absence was first reported by The Tampa Bay Times and confirmed by ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Martin was a full participant in joint practices in Jacksonville, including Wednesday's padded practice. It is unclear when he suffered the injury, the story said.

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.
