Patriots trade for Dolphins WR Isaiah Ford

Nov 03, 2020

A rare intra-division trade: Dolphins are trading WR Isaiah Ford to the New England Patriots, per source.

Related players: Lynn Bowden Jr., Malcolm Perry, Antonio Callaway

Fantasy Impact:

ESPN believes Ford should provide an experienced option for a depleted Patriots receiver group and he has the versatility to play both outside and slot receiver. He's mostly played the slot this season. The Patriots have been in need of reinforcements as Julian Edelman (knee) is on injured reserve and N'Keal Harry missed Sunday's loss against the Buffalo Bills. They have elevated undrafted free agent Isaiah Zuber from the practice squad four different times this year.

Meanwhile for the Dolphins, it could open the door for a trio of young players they would like to evaluate there the rest of the season: rookie third-round pick Bowden Jr., rookie seventh-round pick Perry and practice squad receiver Callaway who saw his NFL suspension expire this week and is a likely candidate to be elevated to the 53-man roster soon, an ESPN story said.

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.
