Stafford not 100 percent

Nov 11, 2009

Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford still is suffering the effects of a right knee injury he sustained six weeks ago. Stafford continues to get treatment for the knee subluxation, and Lions coach Jim Schwartz has said Stafford is not 100 percent.

Problems with the knee -- even minor problems -- would explain why Stafford was having trouble getting the ball where he wanted it. A quarterback needs to have a strong base to throw, and a leg problem can adversely affect his passing.

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.
