Doug Martin eyeing Week 10 return

Oct 24, 2013

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network has reported that the Buccaneers are optimistic at getting RB Doug Martin (torn labrum) back this season. Martin will spend the next 18 days strengthening his shoulder and will wear a harness, with the target date for return Nov. 11 on MNF.

Fantasy Impact:

Mike James will hold down the fort for at least the next two weeks. We recommended that owners hold onto Martin until the season-ending reports were confirmed by the team or Martin himself, and it now appears that he will return this season. Keep in mind that the Buccaneers are 0-6; their playoff chances are slim to none, so it doesn't make much sense to risk a long term injury to their star RB to win a few meaningless games. Still, he deserves a roster spot in case he can return to game action. His schedule looks pretty favorable down the stretch.

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.
