Tyler Eifert showing rapport with Gardner Minshew

Aug 27, 2020

According to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated, Tyler Eifert has shown strong chemistry with quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

With sophomore tight end Josh Oliver lost for the season, and no one else on the roster capable of pushing him for snaps, Tyler Eifert could have a much stronger season than many have projected. The offense has not had a reliable tight end since the days of Mercedes Lewis, but Minshew’s rhythm passer skill set suggests that Eifert could thrive as a safety valve and downfield target. Eifert has wowed with a number of downfield hookups from Minshew, and will look to carry the chemistry over to game days. Eifert could make for an extremely interesting low cost, deep league TE2 flier. Eifert is currently ranked as our 31st tight end for the season.

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.
