Texans' Daniels out for season, Casey to miss this week

Nov 02, 2009

The Texans will be without two tight ends for Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

Pro Bowl tight end Owen Daniels suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will undergo season-ending surgery.

Rookie James Casey underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Monday and will miss at least one game, coach Gary Kubiak said. Casey could return for the Nov. 23 game against Tennessee.
Daniels suffered the injury while running a pass route in the second quarter of Sunday's 31-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Daniels, who went to the Pro Bowl last season, was off to the best start of his career with 41 catches.

"It doesn't feel good," Daniels said after Sunday's game. "I'm concerned. I've hurt my knee before."

Surgery on a torn ACL generally requires an eight-month rehabilitation period.

Joel Dreesen will replace Daniels in the starting lineup.

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.
