Lions rookie WR Kenny Golladay 'looks devastating in the red zone'

Aug 07, 2017

Lions beat reporter Kyle Meinke wrote Monday that third-round rookie receiver Kenny Golladay could be an impact player from the get-go, with his latest impressive performance being an "absolutely devastating" Sunday practice in the red zone.

Golladay is 6-foot-4 and not only the tallest receiver on the Detroit roster but just as tall as TE Eric Ebron. He has impressed since OTAs.

Fantasy Impact:

With the departure of Anquan Boldin, the Lions have a big red zone void to fill. Boldin led the Lions last year in red zone targets (24), red zone receptions (16) and red zone touchdowns (7). Golladay is a name to monitor this preseason and could be worth the late-round flier. There are plenty of targets to go around as well in Detroit, after three receivers saw 95+ targets a year ago.

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.
