Jordan Howard still not cleared for contact

Dec 05, 2019

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Thursday that RB Jordan Howard is still not cleared for contact, but that he doesn’t believe the injury is season-ending.

Fantasy Impact:

You start to wonder now, even with Pederson saying that, how long the injury will last and whether he will be back before the season ends. With the fantasy playoffs starting this week and Howard’s status very much up in the air for the playoff run, it’s tough to think how much of an impact he will now make for your playoff run. You want to be absolutely sure he is ready to go again, so he might still be worth a hold if you believe he’ll be back for the fantasy semifinals or championship. But it’s certainly a risk at this stage, especially considering Miles Sanders has improved in the time Howard has been away. It’s definitely an interesting sequence of events in Philadelphia.

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.
