Chiefs-Patriots likely getting bumped from original time slot Sunday, could play Monday

Oct 03, 2020

In the aftermath of Cam Newton testing positive for COVID-19, the expectation is that Chiefs-Patriots in Week 4 will not be played in its original timeslot of 4:25 eastern Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Patriots canceled their 1:00 flight to Kansas City Saturday and the teams and league are going through multiple options, including possibly playing the game on Monday. As noted before, so far there is no spread of the virus within the Patriots organization. Keep an eye on when the game gets moved to, if it in fact does get moved, and how your fantasy league will view the scoring of the game and for which week.

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
