Reports: Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's (thumb) status in doubt Week 13, beyond

Nov 28, 2023

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor just recorded his first multi-touchdown game 2021 in Sunday’s victory over the Buccaneers. But now he may be sidelined as Indianapolis tries to make a playoff push.

Taylor suffered a thumb injury that requires further evaluation and puts his status in doubt going forward, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

Related players: Zack Moss, Trey Sermon

Fantasy Impact:

The good news is, Taylor sustained the injury in the first half and was able to play through the second half. He finished the game with 15 carries for 91 yards with two TDs. Owners will want to monitor his status leading up to this week's game at the Titans, which is an early contest. If Taylor can't go, Moss would likely see a bulk of the work and has proven to be pretty good as the lead back. You may want to grab Moss if he fell back on your waiver wire.

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.”

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.
