Jonathan Stewart heads to PUP list

Aug 27, 2013

The Carolina Panthers will go without the help of running back Jonathan Stewart for the first six weeks of the season.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the team has chosen to place Stewart on the regular-season physically unable to perform list after a doctor weighed in negatively on the back's surgically repaired right ankle Tuesday.

Stewart won't be eligible to play until Oct. 20, when the St. Louis Rams visit the Panthers in Week 7.

Fantasy Impact:

That means DeAngelo Williams will take advantage. He should get a bump in rankings and now has RB2 potential. Rookie Kenjon Barner could get some work and maybe Mike Tolbert gets some goal line work, but Williams should be the guy.

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
