Forte timeline official; out 2-4 weeks

Dec 05, 2011

An MRI on Bears RB Matt Forte's knee today confirmed he suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain, with no damage to ACL.

Fantasy Impact:

Best case is Forte misses weeks 14 and 15 and returns week 16 for your fantasy championship game. However, as posted in a previous story, Forte's contract status might not make him rush back ... unless the Bears are really in the thick of a playoff race. But without Forte and Jay Cutler, Chicago may have a tough time holding on.

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.
