Report: Peyton Manning could miss 4-5 games

Sep 05, 2011

There is a great deal of concern about the progress of Peyton Manning's healing. It appears to be going far more slowly than the Colts or Manning are saying publicly.

The Colts have been preparing for the worst. When Kerry Collins was signed some on the coaching staff always thought Collins would replace Manning for a game or two.

After speaking to a source on the Colts the team didn't believe Manning would get another surgery. There was, however, a serious concern that Manning was not only going to miss the season opener but the potential was for Manning to miss four or five games. Or more.

Fantasy Impact:

This situation remains very fluid, but there have been numerous reports indicating Manning's status for at least week one is very iffy. Barring a stunning reversal of fortune, fantasy owners need to seek other options.

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.
