Bills releasing RB LeSean McCoy

Aug 31, 2019

The Bills are releasing RB LeSean McCoy, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

This goes as one of the first major surprise cuts of the season, as McCoy had been running well this preseason and came off a performance in Week 3 of the preseason where he rushed six times and played 14 snaps. This at least means, for fantasy purposes, Buffalo's backfield is not as muddied as before, with just Frank Gore and rookie Devin Singletary as the main acts. And Singletary has been very impressive so far. McCoy ends his Bills run after four years and is in the top 25 on the all-time NFL rushing yardage board with 10,606 career yards. He should latch on somewhere else. Singletary's impressive play made McCoy more expendable and Gore will act as the savvy veteran that will always rise up.

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.
