Lions WR Calvin Johnson 'doesn't anticipate' missing practice during the season

Sep 03, 2014

Johnson did not play in three of the Lions’ four exhibition games, but he has been back practicing full-go this week, and he said Tuesday that he doesn’t anticipate missing regular practice time this fall.

“We’re going to do what Coach wants us to do, but a lot of that (time off last year) was due to some injuries,” Johnson said. “Really, I would rather prefer to be out here practicing, get timing down.”

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson spent a lot of time in the training room last season and even missed a couple of game, which is unusual for him. Only time will tell if he's able to practice fully throughout the entire season. As nicks and dings crop up, we're expecting him to get some time off during the season.

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.
