Panthers RB Stewart misses practice Friday; questionable

Sep 07, 2012

Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, who is recovering from a sprained right ankle, missed practice again Friday as the Panthers finished up their week at IMG Academy.

But Stewart did his most extensive cutting since he was injured in the Aug. 26 exhibition against the Jets, giving coach Ron Rivera hope that Stewart might play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

The Panthers listed Stewart as questionable, and Rivera said it likely will be Sunday before the team decides whether Stewart plays.

Fantasy Impact:

Not practicing Friday usually isn't a good sign a player will be active. But in this case, Rivera seems pretty optimistic Stewart's making enough progress that there is a chance he suits up. If he doesn't play, DeAngelo Williams gets a big boost and perhaps even Mike Tolbert gets a few extra carries. Unfortunately, the Panthers play at Tampa in a 4:25 game, so you'll need a backup plan if Stewart can't go.

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.
