Chris Ivory: 'I'm almost there'

Aug 06, 2013

Jets RB Chris Ivory has been bothered by his hamstring, and was considered an injury-prone back before this latest ailment.

“I probably won’t play this Friday, but definitely next week, Monday or Tuesday,” Ivory told the Daily News. “(By) Tuesday, I’ll definitely be full speed.”

“Yeah I’ll be back soon full time,” Ivory added. "I’m almost there.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets RB situation was supposed to be somewhat of a strength, but so far it's been more of a mess. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said the lack of reps for some of the running backs, mostly Ivory, are becoming somewhat of a concern. Bilal Powell has been taking advantage of the situation thus far in camp for the Jets, but if Ivory can get back healthy he should still be given a shot to carry the load.

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.
