Kelly Says Knee Is 'Reacting Well'

Jun 19, 2009

Two weeks of OTAs, and Malcolm Kelly did not have a setback with his left knee. It’s progress for the 2nd-year WR. After a lost 2008 season, Kelly is ready to be a regular presence at training camp this year. “My knee feels good,” Kelly said after OTAs wrapped up on June 11. “It has not swelled up on me at all. It’s not even aching.” Kelly was full-go during practices and his confidence improved as he leaped up for balls and landed without any pain his knee. “I knew once I left my feet for the first time, jumping up to get some balls, that I was back to where I needed to be,” Kelly said. “It’s reacting well. I just need to take care of it this summer and then go hard when training camp starts.”

Kelly had arthroscopic knee surgery again last January. He hopes the procedure, as well as continued maintenance of the knee, keeps the injury from flaring up again.

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.
