Devonta Freeman added to Ravens practice squad

Sep 09, 2021

The Baltimore Ravens have signed free agent running back Devonta Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The Baltimore Ravens needed some emergency depth after losing Gus Edwards to injury earlier today. We are still waiting for confirmation on the severity of Edwards' injury, but the team fears that he suffered a torn ACL. The Ravens also lost J.K. Dobbins and the recently waived Justice Hill to season-ending injuries. They were down to Ty'Son Williams, Trenton Cannon -- a career special teams player, and the recently signed Le'Veon Bell at running back. Bell is expected to get the promotion for Monday Night Football, but if he is not in football shape or cleared, Freeman, who was recently in camp with the New Orleans Saints, may get the tap and receive touches. This is a situation to monitor for deep league managers, but for now, at least, Ty'Son Williams is the running back to roster in Baltimore. Williams is our 20th ranked running back for Week 1.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Levi Edwards

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.
