Saints WR Michael Thomas says he can play through ankle injury

Sep 14, 2020

Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas hurt his ankle late in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers, but word after the game was that he was walking fine in the locker room.

Fantasy Impact:

Monday brought a brief update on Thomas’ condition. NFL Media reports that it is a high-ankle injury and that Thomas believes he will be able to play through it without missing any time. Thomas has missed one game in his career and it came during his rookie season, the story said. It may be easier said than done to play through the injury, and owners will need to monitor this throughout this week. We can't always trust players when they say they will play through an injury. To complicate things, the Saints play at the Raiders Monday night in Week 2 so owners will possibly need a backup plan.

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.
