Chiefs RB Darrel Williams may only have hamstring injury

Dec 01, 2019

The Chiefs have two new players dealing with injuries that have left this crucial AFC West contest against the Raiders. The first was a scary injury to RB Darrel Williams. It seems like the Chiefs might have dodged a bullet there, though.

Related players: LeSean McCoy, Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson

Fantasy Impact:

Williams took a handoff from Patrick Mahomes on a play, took three steps and then his right leg buckled. It looked like it might have been a lower leg injury like an Achilles, the story said. Thankfully, the Chiefs are currently calling this injury a hamstring injury. He limped off under his own power.

With Damien Williams out this week, the Chiefs RB3 is an important position in the fantasy world. After Darrel Williams left, Thompson took over as the back behind McCoy so this is a position to watch as we enter the fantasy playoffs.

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.
