RB Clinton Portis Likely To Practice Soon

Aug 29, 2010

While news regarding Donovan McNabb is not the best, there was some positive news from Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan concerning running back Clinton Portis, who sprained his right ankle against the Jets Friday night.

"I don’t think it’s too serious. It’s not a big setback," Shanahan said. "I would anticipate him being able to practice in a couple of days."

Fantasy Impact:

It's hard to get excited about Portis as a fantasy player, but he should carry the load for Washington and might be useful if he's got a favorable matchup.

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.
