Denard Robinson has sprained MCL

Sep 21, 2015

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without running back Denard Robinson for several weeks.

Robinson, the backup to T.J. Yeldon, said Monday he sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a 23-20 win against Miami. Robinson left the game following a 9-yard run in the first quarter and did not return.

His injury leaves the Jaguars (1-1) thin at the position. Toby Gerhart missed the first two games with an abdominal strain. It's unclear whether Gerhart will be able to practice this week and play at New England (2-0) on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Bernard Pierce is next up on the depth chart if Gerhart can't play in Week 3. It should be good news for Yeldon owners as the rookie should get a big workload.

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.
