Redskins won't know RG3's status until Friday

Oct 10, 2012

Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said in a conference call with Twin Cities reporters that QB Robert Griffin III was cleared to practice on Wednesday -- three days after leaving a loss to Atlanta with what the team termed a mild concussion.

Shanahan cautioned that Griffin remains under evaluation and the Redskins won't know his status for certain until Friday. But his speedy return to the field is a strong indication Griffin will be ready for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact:

It certainly appears that Griffin is on track to play in Week 6. His owners should have a backup plan in place, just in case. The Redskins play in the second round of games on Sunday. Christian Ponder, Alex Smith, Carson Palmer, Kevin Kolb, Matt Hasselbeck and Brandon Weeden should all post serviceable numbers this week.

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.
