New Orleans Saints running back Khiry Robinson was held out of practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. Robinson is dealing with a forearm injury and should be considered doubtful for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Green Bay Packers.
Khiry Robinson misses practice Thursday, fantasy status doubtful for Week 8
Khiry Robinson missed practice again on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

It’s not known when Robinson suffered the injury. He downplayed it at first, calling it a “little boo-boo,” but Robinson will most likely be held out of the game if he can’t practice on Friday. Robinson rushed for 330 yards and two touchdowns on 64 carries in six games this season.
Fantasy impact: Robinson has done an admirable job filling in for Mark Ingram, who missed three games with a broken hand. Now that Ingram is healthy, he should resume his role as the primary early-down back and could get even more touches if Robinson is out. Robinson drops back down to his usual handcuff role and is no longer a must-hold in smaller fantasy leagues. Ingram has RB2 appeal against the Packers' weak run defense.
