Alvin Kamara (knee) ruled out vs. Cowboys

Dec 02, 2021

According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for Thursday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys due to a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Alvin Kamara is out for tonight's contest against the Cowboys, putting Mark Ingram back in the reins as the featured back for the Saints. Kamara was able to log a limited practice on Wednesday but did not progress well enough for the team to feel comfortable starting him on a short week. Ingram has proven capable of carrying the load throughout the season and should be in line for a steady diet of touches against the Cowboys regardless of gamescript. Taysom Hill may limit his upside as far as number of carries and goal line opportunities, but the threat of a running quarterback opens up lanes for the running backs more often than not. Ingram is an RB2 with RB1 upside for Week 13.

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.
