Conflicting information about James Starks' ankle

Nov 25, 2011

James Starks came back from a knee injury suffered four days earlier against Tampa Bay and ran four times for 19 yards. But Starks wasn't a part of the rotation in the fourth quarter.

"I wasn't hurt," Starks said. "I was fine. Three games in 10 days take a toll on your body, but our coaches do a good job of giving us proper rest.

"The injury happened three or four days ago, so the week was fast. I stayed in treatment. Of course, you're going to play with a little bit of pain. Everything is fine now. I got a little time to rest. I think I should be fine."

Asked if Starks had been hurt again, coach Mike McCarthy said, "You know, it's a. . . I think he just tweaked his ankle again."

Fantasy Impact:

So we have the head coach saying that Starks tweaked his ankle and the player saying he wasn't hurt. The Packers have 10 days until their Week 13 game against the Giants, so Starks has plenty of time to heal.

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.
