Allen: Saints WR Michael Thomas 'going to be ready'

Aug 16, 2022

Then added: "When the ball kicks off for real, Michael Thomas is going to be ready to go, and we're excited about that."

Fantasy Impact:

The now 29-year-old Thomas continues to rehab the injured ankle that forced him to miss the entire 2021 season and most of the previous season. Beat writer Nick Underhill says that in camp Thomas looks like he did in 2019. Drafting Thomas requires a leap of faith, but he’s going off the board as the WR29 in the sixth round, which seems like a steal for a player who racked up 149 catches for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns as recently as 2019. However, he also carries a lot of risk since he hasn’t played football since December of 2020 and is getting a little long in the tooth.

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.
