Chargers WR Mike Williams (back) has begun running

Aug 09, 2017

Already ruled out for the remainder of training camp with a lower back disc herniation, rookie receiver Mike Williams is getting better and began running on the field Monday, according to Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn.

"He’s back on the grass," Lynn said. "He’s running. He’s doing well."

@ProFootballDoc added: "No idea where Mike Williams is at with his herniated disc but typically, a player needs 4-6 weeks minimum from start of running to play."

Related players: Tyrell Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Williams is looking very iffy for Week 1. He has missed most of camp. Tyrell Williams' ADP has been weighted down by the rookie's presence, but he (Tyrell) is very likely to start the entire season as long as he stays healthy. He was terrific last year in a WR1 role with Keenan Allen out and showed very well as a route-runner. He's currently going in the late 7th round in early MFL10s.

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.
