Crennel: Jordan Akins 'not quite ready to get back yet'

Oct 23, 2020

Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel told reporters Friday that TE Jordan Akins is not ready to return from his ankle injury. "We are working with him and he's working to get back. He's not quite ready to get back yet," said Crennel.

Related Player: Darren Fells

Fantasy Impact:

Safe to say Akins is out for Week 7. It will be interesting to see how Akins fits into the offense when he returns since Darren Fells has been very productive in his stead. After a promising start to his 2020 season, Akins has a steep hill to climb to show he is fantasy-relevant in his return.

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.
