OAK QB Campbell's stinger injury not serious

Aug 30, 2010

As scary as Jason Campbell's injury appeared following the blind-side sack by Travis LaBoy – Campbell lay prone with a sensation-losing and strength-weakening "stinger" for up to five minutes with trainers keeping his head immobilized – the day after provided a modicum of relief.

Turns out the stinger is the least of Campbell's worries.

The new Raiders quarterback is also nursing a sore right (passing) wrist, which was hurt the series before Campbell was knocked out of Saturday night's exhibition game against the 49ers. Presumably, it happened on a sack by Patrick Willis, who came up the middle untouched while flying by rookie center Jared Veldheer.

"After the X-rays, (the stinger) does not appear to be too serious," Raiders coach Tom Cable said late Sunday afternoon in a conference call with Bay Area writers.

"We just need to rehab it and make sure he is ready to go."

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.
