Injury has helped CHI LB Urlacher's tackling

Aug 09, 2010

Injuries generally don't help a player's game.

Yet that's the situation in which Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher finds himself a little less than a year removed from the dislocated wrist that wrecked his 2009 season. Bears coach Lovie Smith believes Urlacher is having the training camp of his 11-year career.

Interestingly, the linebacker attributes his play -- which includes a more "conscious" effort to play technically sound with his hands -- to the injury.

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.
