Eagles optimistic about RB Darren Sproles; Ryan Mathews in knee brace

Nov 21, 2016

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Darren Sproles and Ryan Mathews are both considered day-to-day after suffering injuries in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Coach Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that Sproles has a rib fracture, but he sounded optimistic that the 33-year-old would be able to suit up Monday night against the Green Bay Packers. Mathews will also try to get back after sustaining an MCL sprain in his right knee. After the game, he was spotted wearing a brace around that leg.

Related players: Wendell Smallwood, Kenjon Barner

Fantasy Impact:

Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner are next up on the depth chart. Smallwood would likely see a much bigger role, especially if Mathews can't play in Week 12. This is a Monday night game so it's going to be risky waiting to play any Eagle RB unless we get a better idea of statuses before that. But as Washington's Rob Kelley proved Sunday night, this is potentially a nice matchup for the run-first Eagles.

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.
