Could Matthew Stafford Only Be Out 1-2 Weeks?

Sep 14, 2010

On a Detroit radio show (WDFN-1130 AM) this morning, Dr. Stan Sczecienski of Garden City Hospital said there might be evidence that QB Matthew Stafford's injury could sideline him for just a week or two.

Sczecienski, who does not treat Stafford, said two pieces of information lead him to believe the injury might be a shoulder contusion instead of a separation. One, replays show that Stafford got hit on the side of his shoulder and, two, Stafford himself said there was no injury to the labrum (Sczecienski said injury to the labrum is normally an indication of a separation).

Stafford is expected to visit noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews this week for a second opinion.

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.
