Broncos Beat: RB Phillip Lindsay a home run threat

Sep 10, 2018

From the instant Denver signed Phillip Lindsay as an undrafted free agent, I shouted he would make the team. But I didn’t see this coming. If Royce Freeman is the No. 1 running back on the roster, then Lindsay is No. 1A. The three interceptions thrown by Case Keenum against Seattle was a reminder that if the Broncos ask their new quarterback to do too much, it’s going to be trouble. The beauty of Lindsay? He gives Denver a home-run threat on safe play calls.

Fantasy Impact:

Lindsay wasn't in a lot of fantasy football conversations to start the season, but this story from the Denver Posts gets a few opinions about Lindsay and his potential from those who follow the team. One called him Danny Woodhead 2.0. What most agree on is to probably not give him a ton of touches every week, but some were more excited saying he could produce 1,000 total yards this season. For those looking to take a shot on a RB after Week 1, Lindsay seems like he should be close to the top of your list.

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.
