Vick, Maclin missing practice; D-Jax limited

Nov 24, 2011

Michael Vick is again sitting out practice Thursday, further indicating that Vince Young will get his second start as an Eagle Sunday against the Patriots.

There is mixed news on the Eagles wide receivers.

DeSean Jackson was back in a helmet at least for the start of practice, a sign that he is well enough to resume some running as he recovers from a bruised foot. Jeremy Maclin was watching, not participating in practice.

Maclin was limited in practice Wednesday and was still worried about his separated shoulder and hamstring strain.

Fantasy Impact:

This appears to be a setback for Maclin who was limited yesterday. He's looking very iffy for Week 12. Jackson did not practice yesterday, so today's participation is an upgrade. With Maclin possibly out, Riley Cooper is looking like a very sneaky start against a shaky Patriots pass defense.

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.
