Broncos expect RB Melvin Gordon (hip, shoulder) to practice this week

Dec 06, 2021

On RB Melvin Gordon (hip/shoulder) Broncos coach Vic Fangio said Monday Gordon "will be back to practice at some point during the week.'' Gordon did not practice last week and did not play Sunday night against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams was one of the stars of Week 14 having the RB1 role to himself with Gordon out against the Chiefs. Williams looked good and one would think it would be hard for Gordon to find snaps going forward, but the two have essentially split this season, so it's possible the two slide back into their roles if Gordon is back. It's something to monitor heading into Week 14.

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.
