Darrius Heyward-Bey sprains knee

Aug 04, 2013

Darrius Heyward-Bey has encountered a road block in his quest for a starting job with the Indianapolis Colts.

The veteran wide receiver, signed by the Colts in April, limped off the practice field Sunday with a sprained knee, according to The Indianapolis Star.

Heyward-Bey's recovery timetable is unclear, though it's fair to wonder about the former first-round pick's availability for the Colts' preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.

Heyward-Bey is hoping to hold off T.Y. Hilton as the Colts' starting receiver opposite Reggie Wayne.

Fantasy Impact:

Hilton was getting high praise from HC Chuck Pagano just very recently despite the fact DHB was running with the first team.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
