Raiders RB Sincere McCormick hits IR

Dec 18, 2024

The Raiders have placed DE Maxx Crosby and RB Sincere McCormick on injured reserve, ending their seasons.

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Alexander Mattison

Fantasy Impact:

Abdullah came in and operated as the RB1 after McCormick went down in Week 15, earning 10 opportunities, but only a 3-8-0 stat line on the ground. This should be a fairly cut-and-dry backfield, with Mattison taking a lot of the early-down work and the veteran Abdullah gobbling up the third-down work. Regardless, they should both be stay-aways in pivotal Week 16 playoff matchups.

Browns officially named Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their starting QB for Sunday’s game against the Bengals.

Related Players: Jameis Winston

Fantasy Impact:

This is a good sign for the Bengals D/ST, as Thompson-Robinson has a career 5.2% turnover-worthy play rate, with one passing touchdown and seven interceptions, including two back in Week 7 against this Cincinnati team. DTR will take off with the ball, but it's not enough to give him the starting nod in any fantasy lineups.
