Reid: Jamaal Charles 'totally fine'

Sep 08, 2013

Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles left the season opener against Jacksonville with a quadriceps injury. He came back for a couple of carriers before leaving the game for good.

Afterward, Charles and coach Andy Reid described the Chiefs' back as "totally fine."

Charles was injured in the third quarter when he got sandwiched on a tackle between Jaguars linebackers Geno Hayes and Paul Posluszny.

Fantasy Impact:

Charles finished with 16 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown. He also caught three passes for 23 yards. His 2-yard TD run in the second quarter put the Chiefs ahead 21-2. Since the game was well in hand, there wasn't a need to bring Charles back in and that's likely why his day ended early. Backup Knile Davis carried four times for 12 yards. Charles looks like he should be OK when the Chiefs host the Cowboys in Week 2.

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.
