Greg Olsen misses practice again Thursday with concussion

Dec 06, 2019

Panthers TE Greg Olsen is in the concussion protocol and has not practiced yet this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Olsen suffered a big hit during Sunday’s loss to the Redskins and is looking unlikely to play Sunday in Atlanta. This would give Ian Thomas another chance to run as the starter, like he did last season during Olsen’s foot injury. Thomas was inconsistent during his time as the starter last season but did show flashes of upside. He’s a good pass-catcher and can be a good option in the middle of the field while teams key in on D.J. Moore. Check Friday’s report for the official word but start eyeing Thomas as a potential play in DFS leagues and a deep option, but not a highly recommended one, in the fantasy playoffs.

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.
