Jaguars open to potential Justin Blackmon return

Jun 05, 2014

The Jacksonville Jaguars aren't counting on the return of Justin Blackmon for the 2014 season, but the team doesn't plan on severing ties with the wide receiver, either.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday morning that the Jags are open to taking back Blackmon and playing him if the NFL reinstates him this season, according to a source with knowledge of the team's plans.

Fantasy Impact:

This is not a huge surprise. Blackmon is a very good receiver (64.0 yards per game in his first 20 career games) and if he can get his head on straight, he could go on to have a very good career. His salary is minimal, so the Jaguars are wise to see how this plays out.

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.
