Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) avoids major injury

Sep 25, 2017

Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin avoided structural damage to his surgically repaired left knee on an awkward tackle to the ground that ended his day early in Sunday's loss to the Saints, but his status for the Panthers' Week 4 trip to New England is up in the air.

"He got an MRI last night, and it came back pretty good. We'll see how his treatment goes," head coach Ron Rivera said Monday. "They told me that it had all come out negative and there was nothing structurally wrong, which was good news because it was his repaired knee."

Fantasy Impact:

Benjamin's left leg got caught underneath his body as he was tackled on a catch to end the first quarter. He did not return. Benjamin missed the entire 2015 season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in training camp. The Panthers-Patriots game is an early contest in Week 4.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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

Ian Rapoport

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.
