Irv Smith Jr. to undergo meniscus surgery, out for at least start of season

Aug 29, 2021

Vikings TE Irv Smith Jr. will undergo surgery for a meniscus injury and is expected to miss at least the start of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

There is no timetable for Smith’s return, but this certainly puts a minor damper on what was looking like a breakout season for the third-year tight end. Tyler Conklin is next in line at the position until Smith returns. He’ll likely miss the opener against the Bengals, then we’ll keep an eye out for Week 2 at Arizona.

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.
