Texas WR Randall Cobb (toe) likely out Week 12; WR Kenny Stills (quad) gets MRI

Nov 23, 2020

Randall Cobb is expected to be out for least the Texans' game against the Detroit Lions, if not longer, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly. Cobb underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam Monday, as will wide receiver Kenny Stills for an injured quadriceps.

The initial diagnosis on Stills is it isn't considered serious, per sources. The Texans are expected to re-evaluate Cobb's injury after the Detroit game to determine if he can return this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Writer Aaron Wilson tweeted Cobb's toe injury is regarded as serious enough that team could place him on injured reserve, being out at least three weeks, no roster move yet, per sources. Buried on the depth chart all season, and once a popular dynasty league fantasy pickup, Coutee ended up catching a TD with Cobb and Stills out of the game. He could move up the depth chart if both are out for Thursday's game against the Lions, which is obviously on a short week, possibly making him the team's WR3. Coutee could have some value in deeper leagues but would be hard to trust in lineups.

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.
