Skins TE Cooley will play with pain all year

Aug 22, 2011

Redskins TE Chris Cooley expects to have to manage pain all season in his surgically repaired knee, but he plans on participating in practices during the week.

He takes pride in his durability, having rarely missed a practice in more than five seasons before he broke his leg during a game in 2009.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooley is ranked down our list at 29, but he's getting attention in drafts with an ADP of the 14th round. Playing with pain is a sign to look in another direction for a backup TE. He's most likely going to miss time at some point this season.

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.
