Daniel looks sharp in first action

Aug 23, 2009

While starting quarterback Jason Campbell struggled again for the Washington Redskins in their 17-13 preseason victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, rookie free agent Chase Daniel looked good in his first NFL action.
Daniel then scrambled for 22 yards on third-and-11 to keep his second series going, putting the Redskins on the Pittsburgh 39 as the fourth quarter began.

Daniel was sacked for a 12-yard loss by former Missouri teammate Ziggy Hood two plays later and was run out of bounds by Hood again on the next play. The Redskins had to punt, but Fred Davis forced returner Joe Burnett to fumble. On the next play, Daniel hit Davis over the middle for an 18-yard touchdown that gave Washington a 17-13 lead.

Daniel finished 6-for-8 for 58 yards and the two scores. Campbell completed just one of seven passes for 10 yards against the Steelers' starting defense.

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.
