Notes: Injury to Wells raises concern

Aug 03, 2009

There were questions about running back Beanie Wells' durability at Ohio State, a major reason he lasted until the Cardinals took him with the 31st pick in the draft in April.

Fair or not, the right ankle injury suffered by Wells in his first practice Saturday at training camp only strengthens the concern. Wells is expected to miss at least a few days of practice this week after suffering the injury during a running play Saturday.

An MRI taken Saturday revealed the sprain, and the Cardinals aren't putting a timeline on Wells' return. The injury is a setback in Wells' quest to take the starting job from Tim Hightower, who has looked sharp in camp.

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.
