Jets hope Santonio Holmes ready Week 1

Aug 20, 2013

Nearly a month after his foot waffled, it finally gave Jets WR Santonio Holmes the green light to run around before the Jets’ second preseason game on Saturday night. Holmes appeared sharp running routes at three-quarters speed and catching passes from fellow dinged-up teammate Geno Smith.

Holmes’ impending return will provide more than simply a jolt to a Jets offense that looked out of sorts at practice on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Jets are hoping Holmes will be ready by Week 1, which is a big improvement over the expectations just a short time ago. There's no doubt the team needs Holmes in the passing game, but the story also points out that his presence will be an immense help for Geno Smith's development this season. Holmes is ranked 87th on our list and is well off fantasy radars right now.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 13

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:52 PM EST

Cowboys ruled out Jake Ferguson for the Thanksgiving game vs. the New York Giants due to his concussion. His replacement, once again, will be Luke Schoonmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected, but it could have been a nice matchup for the No. 2 pass-catcher. Schoonmaker is a little less exciting but is worth a TE stream for desperate managers.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett miss Wednesday practice

Brady Henderson

yesterday · 7:48 PM EST

The Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as non-participants in practice today. These appear to be new injuries (though Lockett was also listed with a knee injury in Week 7). Leonard Williams has been playing through his foot injury the past few weeks.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not a great sign for Geno Smith or the general offensive environment for the Seahawks. We would have to imagine that JSN would be seeing his fifth double-digit target game of the season if either of the two were forced to miss Week 13, which catapults him into solid WR2 territory. We'll keep an eye on the reports through the rest of the week.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito officially Questionable for Week 13

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 1:24 PM EST

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for tomorrow against the Cowboys. Drew Lock, his backup, took some first-team reps just in case.

Fantasy Impact:

What a treat this game will be. Whether DeVito or Lock is back there on Thanksgiving, they both need to remain firmly on waiver wires.
