Stafford, Johnson will be game-time decisions

Oct 31, 2009

Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Friday quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson will be game-time decisions Sunday against St. Louis.

Both are recovering from right knee injuries. Stafford has missed two games, Johnson one. Stafford has practiced all week. Johnson was limited Thursday and Friday. Both players were listed as questionable for Sunday's game on the injury report.

"Both of them have made a lot of progress over the last couple weeks," Schwartz said. "I've said before: The bye came at a good time for us. I don't think any of them are 100% yet, but they're getting closer."

Johnson seemed to do less Friday than he did Thursday in the portion of practice open to reporters. He went through some drills and then jogged around the field.

"We're just trying to not overwork it, you know?" Johnson said. "I don't want to mess it up even more than it is."

Schwartz said Johnson did not have to practice fully to play.

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.
