Jalen Hurts to remain Eagles starter after bye

Dec 12, 2021

Jalen Hurts is expected to remain as the Eagles starting QB in Week 15, coming off the team's bye.

Fantasy Impact:

No QB controversy in Philly. Hurts will stay as QB1 despite the strong efforts of Garnder Minshew last week against Jets. This falls in line with HC Nick Sirianni saying "of course" when asked if Hurts is the starter. The Eagles finish the season with four division games, starting next week against Washington. However, last week did give the Eagles a chance to get something in return for Minshew, as teams are reportedly showing interest in him. Rapoport reports the Panthers spoke with the Eagles this season about Minshew, discussing what possible compensation it would take, but talks never really dug deep, eventually bringing Matt Barkley and then Cam Newton. Minshew is under contract through 2022.

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.
