Chargers RB Mathews re-injures ankle

Nov 08, 2010

The Chargers were clearly trying to facilitate a big day for Ryan Mathews, and he was obliging with 37 yards on his first seven carries. His 13-yard catch-and-run to start the second quarter gave him 55 total yards from scrimmage.

But on the second play of the quarter, Mathews had the ball stripped at the end of a three-yard run, and the Texans took over at the Chargers’ 44.

Mathews’ next carry would be his last of the day, as he aggravated the right ankle injury that had hampered him much of the first half of the season.

Mathews’ lost fumble was his third in 102 NFL touches, matching his total in 553 carries at Fresno State.

Fantasy Impact:

If he misses time, Mike Tolbert would likely fill again. The Chargers have a week 10 bye to try and get Mathews healthy again.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

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.
