Cowboys Beat: Jason Witten not near retiring

Jul 11, 2016

I’ll believe Jason Witten’s done when he says so. He’s got three years left on his contract with the Cowboys, and I expect him to play all three of them.

Once he gets to that point, maybe it’ll be time to have a conversation about his future. And I’m sure the front office will continue to try to address the position in the draft. But in the short-term, I don’t think it’s something anyone in the building is worried about.

Fantasy Impact:

Witten has finished in the top-10 in PPR formats the last 12 years and has averaged .44 TD per game with Tony Romo. As long as Witten's age doesn't get the best of him, he should continue to be a productive target for a healthy Romo. This season, Witten comes in ranked 15th among our TEs and could present nice value later in drafts if you want to draft more than one at the position.

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.
