Dolphins OC: RB Kenyan Drake hasn't done enough to get more carries

Nov 16, 2017

During today's press conference, Dolphins OC Clyde Christensen said 'no' when asked if Drake had done enough to earn more carries.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears the Kenyan Drake-Damien Williams RBBC in Miami will continue. In the last two games, Drake has carried the ball a combined 16 times for 151 yards (9.4 yards per carry) and 1 touchdown. He's also added 8 catches (on 8 targets) for 45 yards. Williams has rushed for 33 yards on 16 carries (2.4 yards per carry) and has added 8 catches for 67 yards.

Drake has done more with his opportunities but the Dolphins still want Williams involved, which hurts fantasy owners looking for one back to trust in this offense. If you're forced to choose, we have Drake ranked the highest between the two this week versus the Bucs, as he's a top-20 option in both standard and PPR leagues.

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.
