Commish Targets Burress

Jun 30, 2009

Not so fast.

That's the mindset of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell when it comes to allowing Plaxico Burress and Michael Vick to return to the field this season, according to a Yahoo! report.

The commissioner, in keeping with his get-tough stance on personal conduct, is leaning towards suspending Burress and Vick, the report stated, citing 3 sources with knowledge of the situation. Goodell recently suspended Browns WR Donte' Stallworth indefinitely after Stallworth pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter in the death of a Miami man.

A similar "indefinite suspension" could be in line for Burress, who has yet to be indicted on felony gun charges after he accidentally shot himself in the thigh in November. Yahoo! cited a league source who insisted that Goodell is "irritated" that Burress has refused to accept any jail time as part of a plea bargain and that the commissioner is prepared to suspend Burress even before prosecutors take any action in the case.

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.
