Victor Cruz back at practice

Sep 28, 2015

On Thursday night against Washington, the Giants finally got their first win.

On Monday, they were finally getting healthy.

During the portion of practice open to the media, the Giants had a host of injured players back on the field, including Victor Cruz. The wide receiver, out since mid-August with a calf injury, is still trying to make his return from last year's torn left patellar knee tendon.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cruz sighting came just a day after he announced in an Internet video that he would be making his season debut against the Bills in Buffalo on Sunday. It's another weapon in the Giants offense and it could even help Odell Beckham Jr. find more space in the field while helping Eli Manning's fantasy value at the same time. Cruz might be a risk to play in fantasy lineups his first game back. It's hard to tell just how much he'll be involved in the offense on top of it being a tough matchup.

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.
