Jamaal Charles officially listed as day-to-day

Aug 13, 2013

Although Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles remained sidelined Tuesday, it's now clear that the star running back's injury is minor. After being evaluated by two orthopedic doctors, Charles is listed as "day to day." The Chiefs have ruled out any long-term issue such as a Lisfranc injury, reports Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star.

Charles could be back on the field as soon as Wednesday, but we would still expect the Chiefs to play it cautiously and hold him out of Friday's game versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

It tells us so much, yet so little, but at least we take take from this that the injury is not serious. Continue to draft Charles as a top-four fantasy back, and if you're still unsure, here is another blurb from the story to help make you feel better:

"Reid will try to dictate coverages and exploit mismatches by lining Charles up as a traditional tailback, as the deep back in the pistol, as a slot receiver and even split out wide."

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.
