Broncos keep Montee Ball, but he's their RB4

Sep 05, 2015

The status of running back Montee Ball generated the most talk going into deadline day for the Broncos. The former second-round pick was on the roster bubble, but was retained when the team announced its list of cuts Saturday.

"Hopefully, can continue to improve," general manager John Elway said. "He was in the top 53 in our minds, so that's why Montee's here and we still have high expectations for Montee."

Coach Gary Kubiak said he planned for Ball, who is listed as the fourth running back on the Broncos' depth chart, to continue to play special teams and it's up to the coaching staff to keep him involved.

Fantasy Impact:

Juwan Thompson is now ahead of Ball on the depth chart, along with Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson.

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.
