Bucs have 'big plans' for Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Aug 10, 2015

Austin Seferian-Jenkins is starting to turn potential into reality.

The Bucs’ second-year tight end has been healthy in camp, showcasing the skills that made him a second-round draft pick out of the University of Washington. He suffered through typical rookie growing pains last fall, when injuries and erratic focus helped limit him to only 21 receptions.

“We’ve talked about Austin since he got here, what his potential will be,’’ Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. “Every day he’s on the field, he confirms that more. There’s not a whole lot to dislike about Austin — we have big plans for him.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Seferian-Jenkins seems to be getting a lot of hype this offseason, despite being in an offense with Jameis Winston, Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans. Seferian-Jenkins sure could get lost around talent like that, which could be a good thing for fantasy owners. The story didn't go into a lot of detail about the plans, but we can conclude he should see a lot of space in the middle of the field with the talent at WR, so there's upside for owners. If you're going to wait at the position, or want a high-end TE2 for your roster, he could be your guy.

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.
