Cardinals sign TE Richard Rodgers to practice squad

Oct 12, 2021

The Cardinals signed TE Richard Rodgers to their practice squad.

Rodgers spent the bulk of his career with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the third round in 2014.

Now with the Cardinals, Rodgers could be moved to the active roster but would have to leap-frog current tight ends Demetrius Harris and Darrell Daniels to earn playing time.

Fantasy Impact:

No update was given on Williams the story said, but reports say he will likely miss time with a serious knee injury, perhaps the rest of the season. Williams was starting to emerge at the position, but Rodgers doesn't bring a lot of fantasy excitement as a potential replacement. However Rodgers did catch 85 passes with the Packers in 2015, a career high. The team could still look outside the organization for another option, as we reported in an earlier news item.

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.
