Bengals HC Taylor: Joe Burrow showed control of offense

Aug 21, 2020

Bengals rookie QB Joe Burrow showed control of the Bengals offense during the team's first scrimmage, according to head coach Zac Taylor. "He did a nice job communicating and had some nice drives for us," Taylor said in a teleconference afterward. Taylor also added that Burrow's grasp of the offense was not anything new.

Fantasy Impact:

Zac Taylor appears to be Burrow's biggest fan. Taylor praised Burrow as he completed eight consecutive passes during a stretch of the scrimmage. Burrow did not have A.J. Green or John Ross to throw to, but still succeeded. Depth may be Burrow's biggest weapon this season as he grasps the pro game.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

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

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.
