Dolphins RB Damien Williams pushing to get back on field

Dec 12, 2017

Don’t forget about Damien Williams just because Kenyan Drake is tearing it up in his absence. The Dolphins believe their offense operates best with both guys in the game plan, and Williams has been pushing to get back on the field.

He was knocked out of the game at New England on Nov. 26 with a shoulder injury and hasn’t practiced or played since. He was on the field for some light work on the side last week, though, and coach Adam Gase did not rule him out for the upcoming game at Buffalo.

“We just gotta keep getting him stronger and then when the trainers say he’s ready to go on the field, we’ll put him on the field,” Gase said.

Fantasy Impact:

The Dolphins never specified but the story said reports had Williams' injury as a dislocated shoulder. It's potentially a hit to Drake's fantasy value if Williams returns. Drake has looked good the last two weeks but the Dolphins don't have much depth behind Drake with Williams out.

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.
