Chester Rogers is making a case for himself during Colts OTAs

Jun 05, 2019

Fourth-year wide receiver Chester Rogers was, arguably, the best player on the field during Tuesday’s practice open to reporters.

Whether it was his diving sideline catch or his leaping, fingertip grab later in the workout, Rogers’ presence was felt throughout. Rogers, per usual, showed his ability in space, where he is often at his best because of his ability to make defenders miss. With veteran T.Y. Hilton and rookie Parris Campbell sidelined, Rogers got extensive work with the first-team offense and quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He took full advantage.

Fantasy Impact:

Indy's WR room is certainly a crowded one with T.Y. Hilton, Deon Cain's impending return from injury and the additions of Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell this offseason. Rogers has shown flashes of production in his three-year tenure with the Colts but averaged just 7.1 PPR points per contest last season. He needs to show more consistency to be fantasy relevant, but Indy's offense has the ability to support a deep receiving corps.

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.
