Darren McFadden still in walking boot

Nov 10, 2011

Darren McFadden has been wearing a walking boot all week and has also needed crutches to get around.

"That mid-foot sprain is really something," Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. "You have to get back to walking first before you can do anything, so my main thing is to get him out of that walking boot first. That would be huge progress, and I think he's closer to having that happen."

Fantasy Impact:

The fact that McFadden is still in a walking boot is worrisome. The popular opinion was that the Raiders were just being cautious with a Thursday game this week because DMC would have nine more days to get ready for Week 11. But if he's not even able to walk on the foot, his availability for Week 11 is in question. The Raiders have the Packers, Lions and Chiefs in the fantasy playoffs (W14-16). The Lions and Packers have been tough against RBs while the Chiefs represent a nice matchup for McFadden, should he be back by then.

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.
