Patriots RB Sony Michel officially questionable, but widely expected to play

Nov 02, 2018

The Patriots official injury report lists Sony Michel (knee) as questionable for Week 9.

Fantasy Impact:

Michel has been trending in the right direction all week. Most expect him to play after practicing all week, albeit in a limited fashion. Should that come to pass, Michel is more of an RB2/3 until we have a clearer picture of how healthy he is. Of course, with the Patriots, he could come in to 20 touches and score two touchdowns, or get the start, carry it three times on the first drive, then watch James White from the sidelines for the rest of the game. If you own Michel, especially in a week with so many teams on bye, you are likely starting him, and if that's the case, you should have at least some confidence he will push for 15 touches and top-25 status.

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.
