Marques Colston 'working towards' 100 percent health

Aug 21, 2013

It's become highly notable when New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston actually practices two consecutive days like he has Monday and Tuesday, considering how little Colston has participated in training camp because of an aching foot injury.

Colston admitted Tuesday he's not 100 percent healthy at this point despite dressing out for practice the past two days.

"That's OK," Colston said. "I'm working towards it. I still have couple of weeks yet (until the regular-season opener vs. Atlanta). I'm still taking my time with it."

Colston has missed more than a dozen practices throughout the duration of camp thanks to a foot injury that lingers to last season. He started training camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list, but returned for a couple of practices leading up to the preseason opener against Kansas City.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners should not let this dissuade them from drafting Colston in the 4th/5th round of 12-team drafts. He should be able to play through whatever pain is experiencing. He did not miss a game last season.

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.
