Devin Smith tears ACL

Dec 14, 2015

Head coach Todd Bowles said rookie wide receiver Devin Smith suffered a knee injury during Sunday's win over Tennessee that will end his season.

"He has an ACL tear. We're probably going to put him on IR," Bowles told reporters on a late afternoon conference call today. "It's a tough break for him. He was starting to play faster and finding his place within the offense. But he's a young guy so hopefully ... he can come back stronger next year."

Fantasy Impact:

Bowles elaborated on Smith's improved play, saying he was grasping everything mentally and when a player learns more and gets the mental part of it down, your game starts to play faster. Bowles added he was playing faster from a route standpoint, blocking standpoint and a recognition standpoint.

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.
