Florida claims against Aaron Hernandez won't reopen

Jun 21, 2013

The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office is not reopening the investigation into what transpired on the day a man claims New England Patriot TE Aaron Hernandez shot him near Riviera Beach, Fla.

Alexander S. Bradley claimed in a civil suit that on Feb. 13, while in a vehicle with Hernandez heading toward Palm Beach County, a gun in Hernandez's possession discharged, hitting Bradley.

But the man repeatedly told deputies that he did not know who shot him and refused to cooperate, the report said. Hernandez isn't mentioned in the report.

Fantasy Impact:

The story goes on to say that as of Thursday, that man still hadn't cooperated - or even contacted - the sheriff's office. And, unless that changes, PBSO can't reopen the case. The report doesn't mention any witnesses to the shooting, only people who found the man after he was shot. Surveillance video was determined to be "of no value," the report said. Perhaps one less thing for Hernandez to worry about these days.

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.
