Andy Reid: RB Damien Williams is 'the full time starter'

Jul 10, 2019

Andy Reid says that Damien Williams "will be the full-time starter for the year" and that he "has earned the right to be that guy." Reid goes onto say that Williams "wants to do this thing" and has taken on the challenge to be the starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Damien Williams spent four years with the Dolphins, averaging under four-yards-per-carry, but exploded with Kansas City for 416 yards and three touchdowns on 73 touches after Kareem Hunt was released last season. The question is, can Williams keep up that kind of pace for a whole season and will Carlos Hyde be able to cut into his workload? Those are legitimate questions, but Williams has the job right now, has proven he works well in Kansas City's offense and should continue to be put into advantageous positions under Reid.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Mike Garafolo

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
