Broncos Beat: RB Phillip Lindsay seems to be a lock to make roster

Aug 27, 2018

Phillip Lindsay has accounted for at least one of Denver’s top-10 yardage plays in each of its three preseason games—a 19-yard touchdown reception and 16-yard catch against Chicago, a 15-yard run against Minnesota and that deep tear-drop at Washington. He totaled 65 plays in those games (41 on offense and 24 on special teams).

Lindsay featured prominently with the first-team against the Redskins, appeared in 14 plays at running back—a clear sign as the 53-man roster cut looms Friday that he will indeed be a Bronco.

Related players: Royce Freeman, Devontae Booker

Fantasy Impact:

HC Vance Joseph said Lindsay is earning the right to be on the team. We have him down low on our depth chart at the moment, but if he makes the team he'll obviously jump up. Freeman and Booker seem to be a lock to earn a majority of the work, but Lindsay is a name to keep in mind.

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.
