Pro Bowl Vets Encouraged AP to Bulk Up

Jun 04, 2009

Adrian Peterson's father revealed that veteran players at the Pro Bowl convinced his son that bulking up to 230 pounds would be a good idea.
They said, "'No defender wants to see you coming downhill at 230," AP's dad explained. "That's where having an old-school dad comes in handy. I told Adrian, "Those veterans are trying to set you up. They want you to add weight so you can slow down a bit and they can have an easier time catching you.'" Peterson has since scrapped the idea. He currently weighs 216.

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.
