Panthers 'hopeful' RB Christian McCaffery plays Thursday

Oct 27, 2020

Panthers coach Matt Rhule on Christian McCaffrey’s chances of playing on Thursday against Atlanta after he practiced today: “I’m hopeful. I’ll have to see how he responds to today. It was great having him out there.’’

Fantasy Impact:

According to reports, CMC was in the red jersey on Monday and Tuesday indicating that he may not play this week on a short week, leaving Week 9 as perhaps a more realistic target. Rhule wouldn’t get into how much work McCaffrey did, according to story, but did say CMC “looks good. He looks like he’s moving around great. Just we’ll let the medical people and him determine how much he can do, or when he can play in a game.’’ We'll continue to monitor leading right up to inactives before the game.

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.
