Kevin Smith out for season; status for camp uncertain

Dec 14, 2009

Second-year running back Kevin Smith suffered a left knee injury during Detroit's 48-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Not only will Smith miss the rest of this season, he could be a question mark going into next year's training camp.

Although there's no official diagnosis yet, Lions coach Jim Schwartz termed the injury "significant.'' If there's ligament damage to the knee, the resulting surgery likely would mean Smith will start next year's camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

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.
