Jamaal Charles (foot) unlikely to play Friday

Aug 14, 2013

When the Chiefs said X-rays were negative on running back Jamaal Charles‘ foot, we pointed out that negative (which is positive) X-rays may not be dispositive.

Since then, we’ve reported that Charles’ foot is “fine.” However, that doesn’t mean he’ll play in the team’s second preseason game, against the 49ers.

As one source with knowledge of the situation has explained it, don’t be surprised if Charles doesn’t play. However, don’t be alarmed, either.

Per the source, Charles would play if it were a regular-season game. Which means that, by the time the regular season arrives, Charles will play.

Fantasy Impact:

The key here is that he would play through the injury if it were a regular season game. He should be good to go for Week 1.

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.
