Kendall Hunter out for the season

Nov 27, 2012

What seemed like an ankle injury to 49er RB Kendall Hunter in the third quarter Sunday turned out to be an Achilles tear, according to a source with knowledge of the injury.

Although the 49ers have yet to make a roster move, that type of injury is certain to end Hunter's season. He had been the 49ers' second-leading runner behind Frank Gore, and perhaps more to the point, offered a nice change of pace to Gore's straight-ahead style.

Fantasy Impact:

Frank Gore owners don't have a locked-in handcuff right now. LaMichael James hasn't dressed for a game and Brandon Jacobs returned last week and had just one carry. Those two would likely split the workload if Gore were to miss time and Anthony Dixon could also be in the mix.

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.
