Dolphins expected to sign QB Jay Cutler to a one-year deal

Aug 06, 2017

The Dolphins and QB Jay Cutler are finalizing a one-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Two sides are expected to hammer it out shortly.

Fantasy Impact:

Based on the signing, it doesn't look like Ryan Tannehill's prognosis is very good. Cutler played for Dolphins HC Adam Gase for one season (2015) in Chicago, and he had a pretty good year: 64.4% completion, 21 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and 7.6 YPA in 15 games. He was the No. 20 fantasy quarterback that season (15.7 fantasy points per game). Keep in mind that Alshon Jeffery only played nine games that year, and with his top receiver in the lineup, Cutler was even better (16.8 fantasy points per game). If Tannehill is out for the year, and it certainly looks like he will be, Cutler will be in the QB2/streaming conversation. Miami has trio of solid receivers and added Julius Thomas at tight end. Their fantasy value should hold pretty steady, though they don't have the built-in chemistry that they had with Tannehill.

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.
