Calvin Johnson on knee: don't want to mess it up more

Oct 30, 2009

While it appears there's a good chance Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will start in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, the odds of receiver Calvin Johnson joining the action could be diminishing.

Johnson, who is hobbled by a sore knee, practiced Thursday but didn't do as much today.

"Just trying not to overwork it. I didn't want to mess it up more than it is,'' Johnson said after today's practice.
As to whether he might play against the Rams, Johnson added, "It's a game-time decision.''

"Both are progressing and both will be game-time decisions,'' Lions coach Jim Schwartz said of Stafford and Johnson. "I don't think any of them are 100 percent yet, but they're getting closer.''

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.
