Status of Bears RB Jordan Howard unclear

Nov 14, 2016

It’s unclear whether rookie running back Jordan Howard was hurt in the Bears’ ugly 36-10 to the Buccaneers on Sunday because there were conflicting messages.

Coach John Fox said that Howard suffered an Achilles/ankle injury, but that the team wasn’t exactly sure what.

Asked about the Achilles/ankle injury that Fox referenced, Howard said, “Nah, I ain’t suffer nothing.”

Howard said he felt a “little tightness” that “just came.” He spent parts of the second half riding the bike by the trainer’s table.

“I’m good, man,” Howard said.

Fox didn’t specify as to when Howard was hurt.

“I can’t really answer that honestly,” he said.

Fantasy Impact:

Howard was reinserted in the game with less than six minutes remaining. He had a nine-yard run and left with a slight limp. Howard (15 carries, 100 yards) only had two carries in the second half after 13 in the first half.

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.
