Houston Chronicle: DeShaun Watson can become elite passer

Jul 20, 2019

While discussing if Houston Texans' quarterback DeShaun Watson is poised for a breakthrough this season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle says "If the blocking is upgraded and the receiving corps is healthier, Watson could generate huge numbers and emerge as an elite passer in his third NFL season."

Fantasy Impact:

Despite being sacked a league-high 62 times in 2018 behind a porous offensive line, Watson still managed a top-five fantasy season with 4,165 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. Watson also added 551 rushing yards and five interceptions. With DeAndre Hopkins still in his prime and Will Fuller expected to return, Watson should continue to put up tremendous numbers this season. Watson is currently 4for4's No. 2 quarterback, behind Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes.

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.
