Mike Vick 'a little concerned' about Martavis Bryant's Week 5 availability

Oct 09, 2015

Steelers WR Martavis Bryant is not being included on daily reports. QB Mike Vick said today he's practiced with Bryant "just one day" this week (Monday)

Vick is unsure about Bryant for San Diego game. "Getting a little concerned," Vick said. "Just gotta keep the faith, hopefully he'll get himself back."

Fantasy Impact:

We posted a news item about this yesterday -- Bryant is not on the daily injury report because he's not yet been put on the 53-man roster. He has apparently missed practice all week except for Monday, which doesn't bode well for his availability on Monday night. If he does play, he may be very rusty after sitting out the last five weeks of practice. The Chargers' secondary is banged up, so the matchup is pretty good, but this is a very dicey situation if we don't get more clarity over the weekend.

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.
