Giants RB Shane Vereen expected to play

Dec 17, 2016

New York Giants running back Shane Vereen was cleared from the concussion protocol and is expected to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions, according to a source.

Vereen suffered a concussion in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It was his first game back since tearing his triceps in a Week 3 win over the Washington Redskins.

The versatile and running back was a limited participant in practice all week. He only took part in the non-contact portions of the workouts.

Related players: Rashad Jennings, Paul Perkins, Bobby Rainey

Fantasy Impact:

Vereen will have to battle Jennings and Perkins for carries but should resume his role as the team's third down back ahead of Rainey. Vereen is much safer in deeper PPR leagues.

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.
