Rapoport: Chiefs RB Spencer Ware damaged multiple ligaments

Aug 26, 2017

From Ian Rapoport: "#Chiefs RB Spencer Ware suffered damage to his LCL & PCL, sources say & will miss time. Tests inconclusive. More coming to learn timeframe."

Related players: Kareem Hunt

Fantasy Impact:

This is not good news for Ware, though his recovery will depend on the severity of the ligament damage, anywhere from 10 days to eight weeks. We'll have more details as they come. Head coach Andy Reid said Saturday Kareem Hunt will be the "featured" back with Charcandrick West likely serving as his primary backup. Owners can expect fantasy RB2 numbers out of Hunt as long as Ware is out, and even if Ware only misses a few games, Hunt may not relinquish the starting job upon his return.

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.
