Eagles ask about Bills RB Lynch

Oct 04, 2010

With LeSean McCoy out indefinitely with a broken rib, the Eagles have contacted the Bills about the availability of veteran running back Marshawn Lynch, a league source said today.

McCoy suffered one broken rib during the Eagles' 17-12 loss to the Redskins Sunday at the Linc. Andy Reid did not say how much time he will miss.

Lynch has fallen out of favor in Buffalo after rushing for over 1,000 yards in his first two NFL seasons, 2007 and 2008. He went to the Pro Bowl in 2008 after rushing for 1,036 yards and eight touchdowns and catching 47 passes for 300 yards.

This year, he has just 37 carries in four games for 164 yards for an 0-4 Bills team that lost 38-14 to the Jets yesterday.

Lynch, 24, played at Cal with DeSean Jackson.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles will have to do something if McCoy can't play this week as Mike Bell is the lone legit RB on the roster. Eldra Buckley has seen limited time as a Bird, but already fumbled once this season.

This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Birds, but going with Michael Vick at QB shows the Eagles have changed gears, as does their interest in Lynch. And why not, with Dallas at 1-2 and the Giants and Redskins not exactly impressive, the Eagles could win the division.

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.
