Chargers Turner prevented RB Mathews from re-entering

Sep 20, 2010

“Whether (Mathews) could’ve or couldn’t have returned, I wasn’t comfortable having him return,” Chargers head coach Norv Turner said. “Depending on the severity of it, I don’t want an injury that might be a one-week injury turn into a six-week injury. I thought Mike Tolbert stepped in there and played awfully well (and) obviously we had some plays from Darren (Sproles). We have depth in that position.”

Fantasy Impact:

Seems like the injury isn't all that serious, which is good news for owners. It also seems Mike Tolbert may have some value going forward over Darren Sproles as Mathews handcuff.

The article also talked about concern over Mathews having another fumble in the gam, but Turner said "Ryan is not a fumbler."

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.
