Vikings planning for Aaron Rodgers to play

Dec 18, 2017

Aaron Rodgers returned in Week 15 for the first time since fracturing his collarbone. The Packers were defeated 31-24 at Carolina after an up-and-down day from Rodgers, who threw three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy was noncommittal about Rodgers playing in Weeks 16 or 17, but the Vikings anticipate seeing No. 12 when they travel to Lambeau Field.

"I feel like he's going to play," Linval Joseph said. "I feel like he's got something to prove and I kind of want him to play because it'd be more of a challenge."

Fantasy Impact:

If the Falcons win on Monday Night Football it would eliminate the Packers from the playoffs, and at that point perhaps GB would be wise to sit Rodgers. Those who picked up Rodgers recently or stashed him will have to wait and see what the Packers decide to do.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

yesterday · 4:30 PM EST

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.
