Calvin Johnson (knee, finger) progressing as expected

Apr 28, 2014

Calvin Johnson attended but did not take part in the Lions’ three-day minicamp last week as he recovers from surgery on his right knee and a finger on his left hand. But he moved very well as he darted around the field.

The Lions begin their organized team activities May 20. Johnson said he had no timetable for on-field debut this offseason.

“It feels good,” he said of the knee. “It’s definitely coming around. We’ve got all this time right now to get it strong, take our time. There’s no need to rush back.”

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson didn't crack the 100-yard mark or score a TD after Week 13 and missed the final game of the season. A healthy Calvin is still the top fantasy receiver, but his knee issues have to be a worry for owners thinking about taking him in the first round of 2014 fantasy drafts.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
