Miami Trying To Determine Brandon Marshall's Sidekick

May 30, 2010

The arrival of Brandon Marshall has generated a lot of buzz down in Miami, but the identity of the starter opposite Marshall has yet to be determined. Three players who have done some good things in the past for the Dolphins are Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo, and Brian Hartline.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel that Bess is primarily working in the slot while Camarillo and Hartline serve as the starters in minicamp. But Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said the “next best guy” will line up as the starter opposite Brandon Marshall, which seems to indicate Bess could win the job.

Fantasy Impact:

Marshall will likely be the only Miami wide receiver who makes a major impact, but Bess can be useful at times, especially in a PPR format. Still, he's ranked #65 in our most recent cheat sheets. Hartline is #69 and Camarillo is unranked. Bess and Hartline are worth watching, especially if young quarterback Chad Henne continues to improve, but neither are worth anything more than late-round flyers in pretty much every format.

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.
