Patriots have 'no worry' about RB Shane Vereen (illness) missing practice

Oct 24, 2014

Running back Shane Vereen was not present for today's practice due to an illness, according to a source. It's the first time he missed a practice since the start of training camp, but there's no worry from Gillette Stadium because he was sick and not injured.

Fantasy Impact:

Vereen was surprisingly absent from Friday's practice, but it sounds as if he came down with the flu. He should be fine to face the Bears in Week 8.

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.
