Two Dolphin Players Believed to Have Swine Flu

Aug 24, 2009

Two Miami Dolphin cornerbacks will miss tonight’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers because they are suspected of having swine flu.
At first, the word from sources was that Sean Smith and Jason Allen definitely have the swine flu.
But once The Miami Herald broke the story, the team flak moved in for some damage control, saying that the players were still undergoing tests to determine the actual diagnosis.
And even when that diagnosis is confirmed, said spokesman Harvey Greene, it will not be released to the public.
But that’s ok because apparently there are plenty of sources on the team that are willing to share information with the media.

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.
