Marion Barber slowed by swollen bursa sac

Jan 11, 2010

A swollen bursa sac in Marion Barber's left knee is slowing the Cowboys running back.

The injury limits Barber's range of motion, causing him discomfort as he tries to make a move and accelerate, which is why he was limited to three carries and 4 yards in Saturday's wild-card victory against Philadelphia.

Barber played mostly in the first quarter and a few series, but he did not see any time in the second half. As he walked to the locker room after the game, he was noticeably limping. Barber's absence meant a career-high in carries (16) and yards (148) for Felix Jones and 14 carries, his most since Week 4, for Tashard Choice, who gained 42 yards and scored a touchdown.

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.
