Roddy White to have elbow surgery, should be ready Week 1

Aug 23, 2015

Falcons HC Dan Quinn said WR Roddy White will have minor right elbow surgery but will be back for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

McClure added in a recent story the elbow injury White suffered last week was a cause for concern. The team didn't provide many details about the injury, which sidelined White from the second preseason game against the New York Jets. Although the initial word seemed to imply nothing significant, White experienced swelling. The team said White's elbow flared up last Thursday after a light practice without pads. If you're already a White owner or plan to take a look at him, it's something to monitor. If the elbow injury leads to White to miss the start of the season, the Falcons appear to have full confidence in newcomer Leonard Hankerson stepping into a complementary role alongside Julio Jones, McClure added.

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.
