McCoy: 'I can't really go like I want to'

Sep 28, 2015

The Bills rolled to an easy win over a listless Dolphins team on Sunday afternoon thanks to a strong performance by their defense and another good game for starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

The good defense was an expected part of the equation heading into the season, but the offense was projected to be a run-first unit led by LeSean McCoy. Taylor’s polished play has been part of the reason for the change and McCoy’s lingering hamstring injury has also been a factor.

“I was never really effective today like I wanted to be … Just trying to go. I can’t really go like I want to,” McCoy said, via ESPN.com.

Fantasy Impact:

McCoy gained just 16 yards on 11 carries and said that he and the team need to look at everything when asked about possibly sitting for a week in hopes of getting closer to 100 percent. Coach Rex Ryan was more resistant to that idea, saying he thought McCoy is “still a heck of a player” at his current level of play. But, Karlos Williams had another nice game running for 110 yards on 12 carries, including a 41-yard TD. McCoy owners many want to back themselves if Williams is still on waiver wires.

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.
