Zach Zenner placed on IR

Oct 19, 2015

Zach Zenner's rookie season is over after suffering a gruesome series of chest injuries in Sunday's win against the Chicago Bears.

Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell said the tailback was hospitalized Sunday night with multiple cracked ribs and a partially collapsed lung. He'll be placed on injured reserve, which ends his season.

Zenner suffered the injury on a second-quarter run in the 37-34 overtime win against Chicago. He was examined at length on the field, then again on the sideline, before returning to the locker room.

Zenner, an undrafted rookie out of South Dakota State, captured the imagination of fans during a breakout training camp. He won over the Lions, too, once he led the NFL in rushing during the preseason.

Fantasy Impact:

The Lions running game isn't in great shape with Joique Bell injured and Ameer Abdullah strugging. Theo Riddick got some more snaps this week and had a big play in the passing game.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

Tom Pelissero

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

Ian Rapoport

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.
