49ers not sure Carlos Hyde will play again this year

Dec 07, 2015

Running back Carlos Hyde, who has not practiced or played since Oct. 22 due to a stress fracture in his right foot, might not get his wish of playing again this season, 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said.

"I don't know if Carlos will play this year or not,” Tomsula said on Monday at the his press conference at Levi’s Stadium. “I know Carlos would like to try and play."

Fantasy Impact:

Hyde’s return has been in question since he exited the lineup after attempting to play two games with the foot injury. He could require surgery to help repair the fracture of his fifth metatarsal. Hyde is the 49ers’ leading rusher with 470 yards despite missing the past five games, the story said. With the 49ers not going anywhere, it would make sense to just shelf their RB.

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.
