The Oakland Raiders lost league-leading rusher Darren McFadden to a sprained right foot two carries into Sunday’s 28-0 loss to Kansas City, but it may not be a long-term problem.

Considering McFadden will have two weeks off to recover—the Raiders have their bye this week—he likely will be available for their next game, Nov. 6 game against Denver.

McFadden received treatment in the locker room, had the foot taped and returned to the field. However, coach Hue Jackson opted against putting McFadden back into the game for fear of losing his most potent offensive weapon for the long term.

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.

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.
