Darren McFadden to miss two weeks with fractured orbital bone

Aug 04, 2011

Raiders coach Hue Jackson just revealed that lead running back Darren McFadden missed practice Thursday because he suffered a fractured orbital bone. McFadden is expected to miss two weeks or so.

Jackson pointed out how McFadden missed significant time in training camp last season and went on to have the best season of his three-year NFL career.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't sound like anything to worry about, though it serves as a reminder that DMC is not the most durable RB in the world.

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.

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.
