Cardinals Beat: RB Kenyan Drake will 'stir the drink' for offense

Aug 30, 2020

Equipped with a one-year tender worth $8.3 million and a better understanding of what he's supposed to do, Kenyan Drake will be the Cardinals' primary ball carrier.

"His running style, the explosiveness, being dynamic in space, he's up there with anybody in the league," coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "And now it's just about mastering our system, where he can get those pre-snap keys and, kind of, take that next step as being an expert on our system."

Fantasy Impact:

The team says they are fired up to watch Drake's growing process in year two being the featured guy. RB coach James Saxon described Drake's role in 2020 as being a "prime tool for this offense" and "the guy that's going to stir the drink for us." This is why many are considering Drake as early as the middle of the first round during drafts.

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.
