Jordan Akins (ankle/concussion) good to go for Week 9

Nov 06, 2020

Texans TE Jordan Akins will play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Akins has not played since Week 4.

Related Player: Darren Fells

Fantasy Impact:

Akins was Deshaun Watson's favorite intermediate target for the first month of the season and was getting targets in the red zone. The Texans have an advantageous matchup this week, but it will be tough to assume each pass catching weapon gets their fair share of opportunity in what could be a blowout.

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.
