Anquan Boldin looks good early on

Jul 29, 2016

Anquan Boldin looks good. Yes, there was no hitting. And yes, Boldin has officially been on the Lions for less than 48 hours.

Still, the 35-year-old slid in as if he had been with Detroit for a while already.

Coach Jim Caldwell said Friday the team never actually worked Boldin out, just had him visit. But he felt confident Boldin would have something left because of the “body of work” he has shown in the past and because Caldwell had worked with him before in Baltimore. So far, so good there, one day in.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Boldin worked with the first unit - Marvin Jones and Golden Tate - for a good portion of practice taking reps out of the slot. He made some nice catches and appeared to fit right in with the group.

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.
