Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (concussion) returns to practice

Sep 25, 2015

Texans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins returned to practice Friday after being under the mandatory NFL concussion testing protocol this week.

Under NFL rules governing concussions, players are required to pass a baseline neurological exam before they’re allowed to be medically cleared to return to practice.

Hopkins got hurt Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, but didn’t report feeling any symptoms until Monday, when his community event at NRG Stadium scheduled for that night was postponed.

Fantasy Impact:

The article doesn't state if Hopkins has been completely cleared, but his return to practice is a very good sign for his Week 3 availability. The matchup against the Buccaneers is favorable.

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.
