Marvin Jones back at practice

Sep 23, 2014

Bengals wide receiver Marvin Jones returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since breaking his foot in a controlled scrimmage on Aug. 9.

He looked good and was moving well running through a series of position drills during the one-hour practice, which is the only one scheduled this week. The Bengals have a bye this week.

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis had said following Sunday's 33-7 win over Tennessee that he expected Jones to return following the bye, which means he will likely be ready to play on Oct. 5 in New England (8:30 p.m.).

Jones was third on the team in receptions last season (51), second in receiving yards (712) and second in touchdown receptions (10).

Fantasy Impact:

Jones was one of John Paulsen's sleepers heading into drafts this season, but his injury might mean he's a forgotten man in your league. If he's still on your wire, he may be worth adding now if you're looking for WR help. While the Bengals have a bye Week 4, Jones appears to be on track to play in Week 5.

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.
