Chargers RB Kalen Ballage leads RBs in touches

Nov 09, 2020

Chargers RB snaps with Justin Jackson exiting on first play yesterday:

Joshua Kelley 43-of-79, 14 touches
Kalen Ballage 31, 17 touches
Troymaine Pope (concussion) inactive.

Fantasy Impact:

Ballage came from the practice squad to take over as the lead back this week after Jackson got hurt. While Kelley played more snaps, the team seemed to trust Ballage more, and the same could probably be said last week with Pope, too. It looks like the Bolts aren't ready to let Kelley take over just yet. Heading into next week, it seems safe to assume Ballage could have a nice fantasy role if Jackson and Pope remain out of action. It also seems to be bad news for those holding out hope for Kelley this season. But with the Chargers struggling record-wise, one would think the team eventually turns things over to Kelley.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
