Dont count on Peyton in wks 15-17

Dec 14, 2009

When it comes to the Colts football operations, the man is Bill Polian (team president, elite world class GM and all around football brain). In short, he runs the shows and when Bill talks, 4for4.com takes note.

"Health is the key consideration," Colts president Bill Polian said on NBC Sunday night as he said the Colts will rest key players. "That's our No. 1 priority. Be healthy in January when the money is on the line. Everything else pales by comparison."

Former Colts coach Tony Dungy, now an analyst for NBC, said on Sunday that the focus for Polian and current Colts coach Jim Caldwell is not to get anybody else hurt.

So how much should we expect to see QB Peyton Manning, chasing his record fourth MVP award, on Thursday?

"Not very much, I don't think," Dungy said on NBC. "I think you're going to see a ton of (backup) Curtis Painter."

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.
