Bengals WR A.J. Green unlikely to play Week 8

Oct 23, 2019

When the season started, the Bengals were hopeful A.J. Green could return from ankle surgery during the first eight games. Now, that's unlikely as Green is expected to miss the Week 8 game against the Rams, per ESPN. On Sunday, Green said the recovery hasn't been longer than he or the team anticipated, even though he didn't start the season on IR. "I think they all knew the timeline," Green said. The Bengals are 0-7 ahead of this week's game against the Rams.

Fantasy Impact:

A.J. Green should be traded before the trade deadline, but the Bengals continue to say that won't happen. There's no reason an 0-7 team needs to hold onto Green going into free agency. If he does end up being traded, hopefully, it will be to a competent offense.

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.
