Is Bills HC Jauron's job on the line?

Sep 04, 2009

If the Bills get off to a poor start, it is reasonable that owner Ralph Wilson would at least strongly consider a head coaching change before the fans are in open rebellion.

No one expects Buffalo to win its opener at the Patriots on Monday, Sept. 14, but the fans will grow restless if the Bills lose to the rebuilding Bucs in the home opener Sept. 20. If the Bills can't put consistent pressure on Bucs QB Byron Leftwich, it would be a huge disappointment.

If the Bills somehow lose to Tampa Bay, the pressure would be on coach Dick Jauron heading into Week 3, when the high-powered Saints come to Ralph Wilson Stadium. That will be a very difficult matchup for the offensively challenged Bills.

For the record, the Bills have had four in-season coaching changes in their history, but none in a very long time.

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.
