Antonio Brown suspended for three games

Dec 02, 2021

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been suspended for three games without pay due to misrepresenting his vaccination status.

Fantasy Impact:

There were reports that Antonio Brown was exposed (by his former chef) for acquiring a fake vaccination card, but those rumors were thought to be debunked by his agent. This suspension suggests otherwise. Whatever the case, AB did misrepresent his vaccination status under the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocol. The league also suspended safety Mike Edwards, also of the Buccaneers. Both players have waived their right to appeal and will miss the next three games without pay. Brown is still dealing with the ankle injury that has sidelined him much longer than expected and was already slated to be out for the next 1-2 weeks. This latest off-field issue spells trouble for AB's future in the league.

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

Levi Edwards

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.
