Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski's back injury not considered serious

Oct 22, 2018

The New England Patriots have some good news on the injury front. Rob Gronkowski's back injury that kept him out of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears is not considered serious according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact:

Gronkowski, who was already dealing with an ankle issue, was a surprise addition to the injury report this week when he was listed with a back issue late in the week, the story said. It went on to say during an appearance on Good Morning Football, Rapoport said that Gronkowski's back locked up during Friday's practice and that the Patriots "didn't want to take any chances" with their star tight end.
Rapoport added that "this is not a long-term injury" and that Gronkowski is not expected to miss any more time.

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.
