Peterson, Gerhart questionable for Week 15

Dec 13, 2013

Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier announced Friday that Peterson is questionable with a foot injury for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. His backup Toby Gerhart also is questionable for the game. Frazier indicated Peterson would be a game-time decision.

Peterson and Gerhart both did light drills at Friday's practice. Frazier indicated that Peterson's stride looked good.

"He looked far better than I anticipated," Frazier said. "It was impressive, when you consider the initial diagnosis. He's unique."

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson doesn't have anything to play for other than a possible rushing title, so we're expecting him to sit out, though we should know more on Saturday or early Sunday. (The Vikings play early on Sunday.) If he can't go, Gerhart would be a solid start in his place, though he's dealing with a hamstring injury that might keep him out as well. If neither can play, Matt Asiata would get the call.

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.
