Rishard Matthews has 'multiple fractured ribs'

Nov 30, 2015

Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker both posted career-high numbers against the New York Jets on Sunday, but it was Rishard Matthews' injury that is the storyline in Miami.

Matthews took a big hit from safety Calvin Pryor in the first quarter and was unable to return after exiting with a rib injury. Matthews is the Dolphins' No. 2 wide receiver and is in the midst of a breakout season, but he may miss some time in the coming weeks.

According to Rand Getlin of NFL Network, Matthews has "multiple fractured ribs," and his timetable to return is unclear.

Matthews is second on the team in receptions (43) and receiving yards (662), only trailing Jarvis Landry in both categories. He's already set career highs in every relevant statistic, including a team-high four touchdown receptions.

Fantasy Impact:

Parker is expected to see more time on the field with Matthews injured. He caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Jets on Sunday and could emerge as a weapon for Tannehill down the stretch.

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.
