Houston RB Ben Tate's Season May Be Over

Aug 15, 2010

Early in the third quarter of Houston's exhibition game against Arizona, rookie running back Ben Tate got the ball and headed off left tackle. At the end of his 12-yard run, he was pulled down by Arizona linebacker Daryl Washington.

Tate didn't get up. He had to be helped off the field. Then he was carted into the dressing room for X-rays. It looks like he suffered a broken ankle and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

If Tate is done for the season, and we'll await confirmation of that, then it suddenly becomes a two-man scramble in the Houston backfield between Arian Foster and Steve Slaton, unless the Texans bring in another back. Foster, currently the starter, had a better game than Slaton last night.

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.
