C.J. Spiller expects to play Week 4

Sep 22, 2013

Bills RB C.J. Spiller says he's a little sore but he doesn't anticipate missing this week vs. Baltimore in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact:

Adam Schefter is reporting Spiller hurt his thigh, not his knee. Bills head coach Doug Marrone added Monday that he expects Spiller to be fine Week 4. Spiller suffered the injury in Sunday's game against the Jets and had rushed just nine times for 9 yards in the first half. He rushed for no gain with 14:39 remaining in the third quarter, his last touch. Spiller was seen limping off the to locker room, but either way, it appears it's not a major injury. It's been a tough go for Spiller and his owners so far this season. Fred Jackson makes for a great handcuff and would get the bulk of work if Spiller would miss time. Jackson ran for 72 yards on just seven carries against the Jets and should be owned if he's still on your wire.

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.
