Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny injures hamstring on first play

Nov 22, 2021

Rashaad Penny made his first career start Sunday and gained 18 yards on the first play, but he hurt his hamstring and only played seven more snaps.

Related players: Alex Collins, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Seahawks wanted to go with a backfield committee, and that may have included Penny based on him getting the start. The story went on to say the team still did use a committee with Dallas and Collins (who's been their primary back since Chris Carson went down). Each played 18 of 49 snaps. Travis Homer played five snaps. Pete Carroll didn't have an update postgame on Penny's injury, the story went on to say. With Carson lost for the season, Penny could have fantasy value if he can get healthy, and stay healthy. However, with the Seahawks sinking in the standings, it could shift to a committee with an eye toward 2022.

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.
