Cam Newton opts to have foot surgery

Dec 04, 2019

Panthers QB Cam Newton is now planning to undergo surgery on his foot.

Fantasy Impact:

The timing is obviously very interesting as the news comes a day after the Panthers fired head coach Ron Rivera. Newton was also initially told injury didn’t need to be a possibility. This likely deals with him wanting to get healthy as quick as possible, especially considering the team and whoever the new head coach is could always choose to go in a different direction at the position in 2020. So Newton likely wants to show that he’ll be completely ready for 2020 to give Carolina one more run. A healthy Cam Newton is obviously a dangerous weapon for the Panthers offense.

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.
