Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee) likely to miss Week 6

Oct 11, 2016

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has already missed two games with a bruised knee and it looks like he will be out at least one more week. Given their bye in Week 7, there's a chance that this could be the last game that Dez misses for the 'Boys.

Related players: Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams, Brice Butler

Fantasy Impact:

Though he saw just three targets against the Bengals, Brice Butler leads all Cowboys WRs in snaps and targets in Bryant's absence. If you're looking for a bye week fill in, or are just thin at the position, Butler makes for a nice spot start against a Packers defense that struggles against WRs.

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.
