Jordan Howard to play on third down

Aug 24, 2018

Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that running back Jordan Howard will play on third down.

“We’ll do different things with (Howard) and we’ll keep him on the field on third down” was Nagy’s exact quote.

Fantasy Impact:

If this is true, it is fairly significant, as many have considered Howard a first- and second-down player only with Tarik Cohen in town. After scoring nine touchdowns on one of the league’s worst offenses in 2017, Howard looks like he could reach the next level of fantasy goodness if he can add more receptions to his bottom line.

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.
