Kyle Rudolph eyes Week 11 return

Nov 03, 2014

Kyle Rudolph is ramping up his rehabilitation from hernia surgery and targeting the team's next game, Nov. 16 at Chicago, for his return.

"That's my goal," Rudolph said after Sunday's 29-26 victory over Washington. "I've got to get myself in football shape. In my mind, I have two weeks to get ready so I'm going to do everything I can to get out there then."

Regaining the former Pro Bowler can only help Minnesota's offense and rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Fantasy Impact:

Surgeons on Sept. 25 re-attached Rudolph's abdominal muscles to his pelvic bone after he aggravated a nagging core injury in a Week 3 loss at New Orleans, the story said. The injury started bothering him the first week of training camp in early August. Rudolph and the training staff tried managing the initial tear to avoid surgery. Rudolph was drafted as a low-end TE1 but never really took off likely due to the injury. It will remain to be seen if he can get back to that value.

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.
