Vikings RB Adrian Peterson says he'll play in Week 15

Dec 16, 2016

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson just told SiriusXM NFL Radio that he his going to play in Week 15 against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact:

The original plan was to practice this week and return to game action in Week 16, so this is a surprise. We'll update our rankings shortly, but hopefully we'll get more information about his potential workload over the weekend. HC Mike Zimmer expressed some concern about how quickly Peterson will get back into the flow: "We’ll have to see where he is at with his conditioning. There’s so many things to figure out. I think he’s in pretty good shape but he hasn’t sat in meetings for three months. There’s a lot of things to consider." This doesn't sound like someone who will immediately see his full workload. The Vikings have struggled to run the ball this year, but he should be an upgrade over Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata, and he has a favorable matchup against the Colts.

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.
