Browns RB Terrance West 'put on a clinic' in passing drill

Jul 26, 2014

In a one-on-one passing drill going against linebackers, Browns RB Terrance West put on a clinic, so much so, that coach Mike Pettine wondered for a second whether if that was actually his running back.

“I was a little shocked with Terrance today,” HC Mike Pettine said, pleasantly surprised. “I had to double check my roster card to make sure I was looking at the right number. He did some nice things in the one-on-one period. That’s always a bonus when you have a running back that’s not just one-dimensional.”

While Pettine liked what he saw in West, he also reiterated that fellow running back Ben Tate is much more of an advanced pass blocker than the rookie.

Fantasy Impact:

West is battling with Tate for carries. Tate has the inside track to the starting job, but given his injury history, it would not be surprising if West got one or more starts in 2014. It sounds like the rookie has some receiving chops. If he can get his pass protection buttoned up, he could see a big role in the Browns' offense.

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

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.
