Marques Colston not practicing, but would play if it mattered

Aug 11, 2011

For the fifth practice over the last six days, the New Orleans Saints gave wide receiver Marques Colston the day off from practice Wednesday but the veteran said he would be ready to go if the upcoming game were the regular season.

"If this were September and we were getting ready for week one, I'd be out here practicing," Colston said.

Fantasy Impact:

The fact that Colston is not practicing is worrisome, as is the swelling in his knee. But he also says he feels good enough to practice for and play in a regular season game. But how will his knee respond then? The situation is muddy (to say the least), but Lance Moore and Robert Meachem are looking better and better, while Devery Henderson is on the verge of relevancy.

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.
