Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) gets in second consecutive practice

Sep 17, 2020

According to Cam Inman on Twitter, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was able to practice for the second consecutive day.

Fantasy Impact:

The San Francisco 49ers will finally be getting one of their weapons back. Expected to open the season with a wide receiver trio of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jalen Hurd, none of the 49ers young receivers was available for Week 1's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Aiyuk practiced in full and looks to be on track to return. He could be utilized as the number one weapon right away. Some beat reporters mused that Aiyuk may be the receiver who develops into the 49ers longterm number one after watching how he was used and was winning, all over the field. It should be an intriguing debut for a talented receiver in a creative system.

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.
