Reggie Bush (calf) to get MRI

Sep 15, 2015

Running back Reggie Bush was scheduled to undergo an MRI examination on his left calf on Tuesday, 49ers coach Jim Tomsula said.

Bush exited the 49ers’ season-opening 20-3 victory over the Minnesota Vikings with a calf strain after being stopped for no gain on a third-and-1 running play. He did not return to action.

Tomsula said he saw Bush in the training room Tuesday morning and does not believe the injury is serious.

“He looked good,” Tomsula said. “He’s not running, yet. But he looks fine. They’re treating and he’s getting everything checked. . . He walked fine and he was on the table.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it appears doubtful Bush will be available to play on a short week Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, however. Carlos Hyde and Jarryd Hayne were the only other running backs in uniform on Monday. Rookie Mike Davis is likely to be among the 49ers’ 46 active players on Sunday.

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.
