Sidney Rice cleared for full contact

Aug 14, 2012

Seahawks WR Sidney Rice practiced the first two weeks wearing a red jersey, denoting no contact. That's gone this week as Rice is now participating in team drills, and even diving for balls. Rice won't play in Saturday's exhibition game at Denver, but his practice regimen is a sign of progress and that he may indeed be ready when the regular season begins.

"This is his first week back, getting banged around so we'll give him some time," coach Pete Carroll said. "See how that goes."

Fantasy Impact:

When the Seahawks signed Terrell Owens and Braylon Edwards, it created some concern about the early-season availability of Rice, but his full contact participation in practice is a great sign.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
