MNF: 49ers RB Matt Breida limited Saturday, questionable Week 6

Oct 13, 2018

In a bit of a surprise, accoridng to the team's official injury report, 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was able to practice Saturday for the 49ers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has said this week he is doubtful to play, but his official injury designation lists Breida as questionable for Monday night against the Packers.

He is likely headed for a game-time decision. However, NBC Sports Bay Area reported Friday that if the 49ers promote a RB from the practice squad Monday afternoon, that would be an indication that Breida will not play. NBCS Bay Area also describes Breida as 50-50 for Week 6.

Related Players: Alfred Morris

Fantasy Impact:

For owners that have Breida but not Alfred Morris, the Monday night kickoff puts them in a tough spot. Our suggestion would be to move Breida to your FLEX if you are lacking depth and make sure you have another viable back-up from the Packers or 49ers. If you have a similar or better option than Breida that plays Sunday, this would be the safer decision than risking Breida being inactive Monday. Obviously, if you own Breida and Morris, you have the handcuff locked and loaded for Week 6.

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.
