Favre gets 8 stitches, expects to play next week

Oct 31, 2010

A follow up post on Brett Favre, who still took the podium following Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, even though he wasn’t able to finish the game after taking a hard hit to the chin during the fourth quarter.

Favre admitted his chin was numb after getting eight stitches, and said he still expects to play next week.

“I got hit very hard,” Favre said. “Oh yeah, it was sore. And bleeding.

“I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. I remember everything, unfortunately. But I’ll be fine.”

As for the ankle injury that was to keep Favre out of Sunday’s game against the Patriots, Favre said he was “shocked” he was able to play.

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.

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.
