Sammy Watkins arrives in London with boot, crutches

Oct 19, 2015

Bills wideout Sammy Watkins wanted the ball on Sunday, but unfortunately he incurred one of the unintended consequences of a consistently targeted receiver.

Watkins sustained an ankle injury against the Bengals and arrived in London with a walking boot on his left foot, per Sky Sports' live feed of the Bills' arrival. He was also wearing crutches.

This undoubtedly puts Sunday's game against the Jaguars in question seeing as the Bills won't want to take any risks with their unhappy playmaker. Watkins was targeted five times -- his second-highest total of the year -- and caught four balls for 48 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact:

Watkins was on pace for his best game of the season considering his ankle injury happened in the second quarter after his touchdown catch. He dropped to the turf twice before walking off under his own power. It was clear he was limping, favoring his right foot in a way that leads us to believe his trip to London will be mainly for sightseeing.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Levi Edwards

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.
