Eagles to keep Lane Johnson at RT

Oct 26, 2017

There was some talk of shifting RT Lane Johnson to the left side of the Eagles' O-Line in the aftermath of Jason Peters' season-ending injury, but that seems to have been nothing but talk. It's also a sigh of relief to Johnson, who prefers to man the RT position in Philadelphia.

“I think I’m better on the right for now. I haven’t had any reps over there. Not to say I can’t do it, but as far as what I’ve been playing,” said Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

Lane Johnson remaining at his more natural position is a boon to QB Carson Wentz. As noted by Joe Paeno, Wentz averaged 4.17 more fantasy points per game last season when Johnson played (19.28 with, 15.11 without). Wentz, who is averaging 21.7 fantasy points per game this season, is our No. 1 ranked QB of Week 8 in a great matchup versus a 49ers defense allowing 20.8 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

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.
