Eagles WR Dorial Green-Beckham gets starter snaps

Oct 17, 2016

No, Dorial Green-Beckham wasn't on the field when the Eagles took their first offensive snap on Sunday in Washington.

But he got a starter-like load of snaps.

Green-Beckham, who the Eagles acquired during training camp and brought along slowly, played 42 of the Eagles' 52 offensive snaps (81 percent) on Sunday. During the first five weeks of the season he's gone from 32 percent to 46 to 49 to 52 and now 81.

Fantasy Impact:

While Jordan Matthews led the Eagles' receivers in snaps with 47, DGB and Nelson Agholor had 42 apiece. Who's the odd man out? Well, Josh Huff had just nine snaps, the story said. DGB seems to be coming along since the trade and the hope is it's only a matter a time before he puts up starter fantasy numbers. He's not real safe for lineups at this point, and while he had a long play called back, he only caught one ball for 23 yards. The Eagles only completed 11 passes in the game.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Calvin Watkins on X

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
