Mark Ingram (hand) to miss about a month

Sep 15, 2014

Saints running back Mark Ingram is expected to be out for a month, according to ESPN.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Ingram's expected absence on Twitter late Monday morning.

"Saints RB Mark Ingram is expected to miss about a month with a hand injury he suffered Sunday, per source," Schefter wrote on Twitter.

Fantasy Impact:

Ingram has had two strong games for the Saints and was one of the bright spots in an 0-2 start. Ingram has rushed for 143 yards through two games and has three touchdowns. While he wasn't getting more snaps than Pierre Thomas, he was out-producing him. It's a big blow for the Saints rushing game. Khiry Robinson will likely be more of a factor in the running the ball now and is another RB to add, at least for the short term. Thomas should see more work in both running and passing games.

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.
