Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) said he suffered 'setback'

Dec 13, 2021

All the healing done by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the bye week might have been erased on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.

Rodgers, who threw four touchdown passes, said he believes he suffered a setback with his fractured left pinky toe during the Packers’ 45-30 win.

Asked if the toe felt better coming out of the bye and after Sunday night’s game, Rodgers replied, “No, it feels worse.”

“I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow. But definitely took a step back tonight,” Rodgers said.

Fantasy Impact:

We could hear more later today about just how much of a setback Rodgers suffered. Rodgers opted not to have surgery over the bye week but said that option still wasn't off the table as recently as last week. The belief is, Rodgers could have the surgery and not miss any time, which was a big requirement if he opted to go under the knife.

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.
