Broncos Beat: Team now puts trust in WR Courtland Sutton

Oct 22, 2019

Shortly after trading Emmanuel Sanders to the 49ers on Tuesday, John Elway was clear about who needed to lead the Broncos’ wideout corps.

“It’s Courtland’s room now,” the Broncos’ general manager said.

Courtland Sutton, the second-year wideout who’s tied for sixth in the NFL with 564 receiving yards, emerged as a big-play threat this season. Now, it will be up to Sutton — Denver’s No. 3 wideout when last season began — to take over the role as the team’s clear-cut leader in receiving production.

Fantasy Impact:

Sutton was already the team's WR1, so perhaps the biggest step needs to come from Hamilton, who hasn't had more than three catches in a game this season as the team's WR3. Looks like he'll move up to the WR2 role.

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.
