Patriots RB Sony Michel (knee) could miss start of regular season

Aug 04, 2018

Further details with more clarity on Sony Miche's knee injury have emerged. Michel’s knee injury requires a procedure that’s expected to keep him out of preseason, and perhaps even into the start of the reg season, per two sources. So not a major sigh of relief, but the expectation is Michel should contribute this season.

Fantasy Impact:

This is major news for the rookie out of Georgia, who was expected to take over the Dion Lewis role in this offense. It gives a major bump to start the season, potentially, to Rex Burkhead, who was already in line to get red zone and goal-line work. Michel is a very risky selection at his current fourth/fifth-round ADP.

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.
