McCoy: 'We're going to see how it goes' if RB Melvin Gordon plays Week 16

Dec 19, 2016

San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is recovering from a hip strain and a knee sprain, suffered while playing the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.

"We're going to see how it goes. Not a lot has changed since the other day," HC Mike McCoy said.

Fantasy Impact:

McCoy said the team will do what's best for Gordon. He did say once he's ready to go they'd evaluate the situation. He did add Gordon has a great mindset, is chomping at the bit and has been working hard to get back on the field as he's just a few yards shy of 1,000 for the season. Realistically, it doesn't make a lot of sense for the team to put Gordon back on the field with just two games left and their season over, but McCoy and the team certainly haven't ruled that out. We've have to assume even if he plays, he wouldn't get the full workload fantasy owners have been used to.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Levi Edwards

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.
