Vick feeling 'fine' but still in question for week 3

Sep 19, 2011

At the Andy Reid press conference Monday, Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder said QB Mike Vick "was a little bit off" after getting a concussion but Vick said he "was fine" on the plane home.

Vick told Reid and his teammates he was "fine" as well. The team was going to meet with Vick later today for more tests.

A lot needs to go on over the next week, Burkholder added. He also said he can give no time frame on when Vick will return.

Fantasy Impact:

Burkholder said Vick wasn't far off as far as being able to pass the tests he needs to to get back on the field, but didn't give any specific numbers. Consider Vick iffy at best for this week based on the NFL's rules for player safety. Unless Vince Young is cleared to play, Mike Kafka would be the starter against the Giants. Reid said Young is "getting close" to 100%.

The Eagles kept the playcalling simple for Kafka, but that's something Reid admitted he regretted at his press conference. Still, Kafka is a significant dowgrade to Vick, and even Young.

Reid said more updates would come later this week.

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.
