Portis returns quickly for longest gain of career

Oct 19, 2009

Running back Clinton Portis ran for a career-high 78 yards on his first carry after briefly leaving Washington's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with what the Redskins said was a sprained ankle.
Portis was out of the lineup to start the second half Sunday, and Washington said his return was questionable. Ladell Betts replaced Portis on the field to open the third quarter.
But on Washington's second possession of the quarter, Portis was back on the field. He broke into the open up the left sideline and set up a field goal that put Washington ahead 6-3.
Portis' previous long run in the NFL was a gain of 65 yards in 2003, when he played for the Denver Broncos. That run also came against the Chiefs.

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.
