Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake in a walking boot

Aug 14, 2019

Dolphins beat writer Cameron Wolfe tweets, "Just saw Kenyan Drake in a walking boot out here in Tampa to start practice. He left practice early yesterday due to injury."

UPDATE: Miami coach Brian Flores says that Drake will be out for "a while" but he is hopeful Drake will be ready for Week 1. This news gives Kalen Ballage a real boost, as he's already been seeing work with the first team. Even if Drake can get back for Week 1, there's a good chance Ballage leads the way at least to start the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Beat writer Joe Schad did say that Kenyan Drake's injury isn't structural. That's not a lot to go on, but it's better than him being out for the season. Drake has shared work with Kalen Ballage this summer but has managed to stay ahead of him for the most part. Hopefully, we'll hear more about the extent of the injury sooner than later.

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.
