Blaine Gabbert named Jags starter

Aug 19, 2013

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley names Blaine Gabbert starting QB.

Fantasy Impact:

Just seconds later, Long tweeted that Gabbert will also miss the rest of the preseason, but is expected to be ready to go for Week 1. Gabbert played pretty well against the Jets in preseason Week 2, enough to earn the starting job. Up until that point, neither Gabbert nor Chad Henne had done much of anything to stand out. Owners of WRs Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon, and even RB Maurice Jones-Drew owners, should hope Gabbert continues to build off his last performance. Last season, Gabbert's per target production to Shorts was good, but he didn't throw it to Shorts as much as Henne did.

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.
