Kubiak: Irv Smith Jr. "trending in the right direction"

Nov 13, 2020

Vikings OC Gary Kubiak told reporters that TE Irv Smith Jr. is "trending in the right direction" to play Monday against the Chicago Bears.

Related Player: Kyle Rudolph

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears defense has been susceptible up the middle via the run and against tight ends. The Vikings need both tight ends for an important divisional game, but if Smith were to sit, Kyle Rudolph is an automatic TE2 and becomes a streamer.

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.
