49ers "couldn't be happier" with Randy Moss

May 26, 2012

49ers WR Randy Moss arrived in Santa Clara on April 30 for the start of HC Jim Harbaugh’s so-called “Football School,” a precursor to the OTA sessions and minicamps currently taking place.

Harbaugh does not take a leisurely, dip-a-toe-in-the-pool approach to spring practices. His “Football School” sessions were fast-paced, intense and eye-opening for newcomers not used to his hyperactive style.

Moss didn’t complain and more than kept up. In fact, Harbaugh said the 35-year-old has been like another coach on the field.

“He’s not a B.S.-er,” Harbaugh said. “He’s rock-solid. We just couldn’t be happier with him.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's a big "if," but if Moss can continue to be a professional, he can certainly help the 49ers' pass offense, which has also added Mario Manningham and A.J. Jenkins this offseason. This is good news for QB Alex Smith, who looks like he'll have a longer leash in the passing game in 2012.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Antonio Pierce stated that Sincere McCormick will remain the team’s starting running back even with Alexander Mattison nearing a return this week.

“He deserves it. … He has run his tail off.”

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah

Fantasy Impact:

At 2-11, the Raiders would be silly to not see what they have in McCormick, with 31-year-old Abdullah and Mattison, who is on a one-year contract, only there to give the former UDFA a breather. Consider McCormick a volume-based RB3.

Giants QB Drew Lock in walking boot, Tommy DeVito set to start Week 15

Giants HC Brian Daboll told reporters that QB Drew Lock is in a walking boot due to a heel injury and Tommy DeVito now is expected to start Sunday vs. the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens path to an overall D/ST1 finish on the week becomes a little clearer. DeVito can safely be kept on benches in SuperFlex leagues on a week with zero byes.

Bills WR Keon Coleman, TE Dalton Kincaid return to practice ahead of Week 15

Good news on the way for Buffalo: Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) are expected to practice fully today. A positive step forward in advance of the showdown with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, as he takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

As for Coleman, he's more in the boom/bust WR4 range as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.
