The Facts:
Duckett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee to clean out debris. The surgery, scheduled for Tuesday, is expected to sideline Duckett for at least two weeks. The loss of Duckett comes the day after coach Jim Mora confirmed that starting fullback Justin Griffith will miss the rest of the season with a broken left ankle.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Depending on his rehabilitation, Duckett could miss the balance of the regular season, but is expected back for the playoffs. With both Duckett and Griffith injured, Atlanta is down to two healthy running backs: starting tailback Warrick Dunn and backup fullback Stanley Pritchett.
