Report: Pats TE Rob Gronkowski's lung not punctured

Nov 15, 2016

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has played through some injuries in the past, but the latest one may not be as bad as it sounded initially.

Despite earlier reports that Gronkowski suffered a punctured lung last week against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN says that the lung is not, in fact punctured and the injury is “not overly serious.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Gronkowski canceled a scheduled EA Sports media event today in New York, and it’s unclear what it means for this week’s game against the 49ers or beyond. The original report said Gronk would miss this week's game in San Francisco, a winable game for the Pats without him. However, now that the injury doesn't seem as serious, it's possible Gronk could go this week. We likely won't know more until later in the 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.

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.

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.
