Pats RB Mike Gillislee says he's back to 100-percent

Aug 22, 2017

Mike Gillislee was limited throughout the spring with a hamstring injury, and the issue flared up early in Patriots training camp.

"I just tried to burst on one of those plays at the beginning of camp and it just happened," Gillislee said at his locker Tuesday. "And I was able to get an MRI and everything was good, so I'm back today and felt 100 percent."

Fantasy Impact:

Gillislee had been limited since Aug. 2, sitting out of positional drills and team drills. He did not participate in joint practices against the Texans and has not yet appeared in a preseason game. Presumably the favorite to take over the LeGarrette Blount "big back" role, Gillislee said he was a full go on Tuesday. Just in time too, as Burkhead had a big game last week and was starting to draw a lot of attention. Burkhead didn't practice today for unknown reasons, as we reported earlier.

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.
