Jay Cutler sheds hard cast

Nov 21, 2013

Bears QB Jay Cutler on his radio show Monday said he had been fitted that day for a smaller hard cast.

"He’s got the sprain, but there’s stability there, enough stability that they could take it off," HC Marc Trestman said.

Trestman would not go so far as to say the cast removal increases his optimism about Cutler's availability for the Vikings game on Dec. 1.

"I’m going to stay on a just week-to-week because I’ve stayed pretty consistent with (that)," Trestman said. "I’m really not the doctor. They tell me it’s week-to-week. I try not to put myself in a position where I get overly optimistic about these things. I just take them as they come, so I look at it as being week-to-week right now, and we’ll see where he is on Monday."

Fantasy Impact:

The latest report/rumor is that Cutler will return in Week 13, though the team continues to call him "week to week."

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.
