Giants Beat: Team expects WR Golden Tate to be consistent

Jul 15, 2019

Giants beat writer Ralph Vacchiano said, technically, Golden Tate is the replacement for Odell Beckham. They're not expecting a Beckham-like season from him, but they paid for a receiver who had been a pretty consistent, 90-catch, 1,000-yard guy since 2014, until last year (when he was traded midseason).

Fantasy Impact:

Vacchiano went on to say they don't need 90-1,000 yard production out of him, but they expect something close. He has to be dangerous enough to take the pressure off Shepard (who we just posted a story where Vacchiano called him the team's top WR) and good enough that the Giants don't have to be reminded all season about the guy they let get away.

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

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.
