Report: Arian Foster suffers serious groin injury

Aug 04, 2015

Texans RB Arian Foster's groin injury is serious in nature. Source said it should require surgery and may be candidate for IR with designation for return.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners in early drafts will want to avoid Foster until Braddock’s report (of surgery) can be confirmed or denied. We’ve moved him down in our rankings, but there isn’t a lot of clarity about the severity of the injury at this point. Foster has a history of soft tissue injuries, but had a relatively healthy season in 2014. Alfred Blue should be the biggest beneficiary from Foster missing any potential games, but Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk are also in the mix. Blue saw 169 carries last year but only averaged 3.1 YPC. If Foster does indeed miss games, then the running back competition in Houston will be one to monitor this summer.

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.
