Manningham, Giants disagree on concussion status

Sep 20, 2011

Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham missed the entire second half of Monday's game with the Rams, and the team's explanation at the time was that he suffered a concussion. But after the game, Manningham dismissed the diagnosis.

"My neck stiffened up, man," Manningham said. "But I'll be good."

He added that he received a massage and expects to practice Wednesday. It looks like Manningham dodged a bullet, right? Maybe not. Despite Manningham's denial, the Giants insist their initial diagnosis was correct.

Fantasy Impact:

The Giants and all NFL teams have to cautious with concussions so it's not a surprise the player is trying to deny it while the team holds its ground. We'll have to monitor Manningham's progress this week and see if he's cleared by the team to practice in order to determine his week 3 status.

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.

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.
