Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett had broken tibia, fibula

Dec 26, 2016

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had surgery early Sunday morning to repair a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg, coach Pete Carroll said.

"He had a great surgery, and they say in four to six weeks, he'll be up, moving and getting on the AlterG [treadmill] and working and all that," Carroll said on 710 ESPN Seattle's "Brock and Salk" show. "So it's a very secure job they did. They've got some issues with infection and stuff they have to fight right now to make sure he comes through clean. That's because there was a little break in the skin. But other than that, he's got a chance to have a great recovery."

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said later in the day that Lockett should be ready for the start of training camp.

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.
