Less optimism Jordan Reed (concussion) plays Sunday

Sep 13, 2019

Ben Standig of The Athletic D.C. is reporting there is less optimism of Redskins TE Jordan Reed making his season debut Sunday against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Reed is apparently still dealing with complications from the concussion he suffered almost a month ago in the preseason. As Standig notes, there is still time before Sunday for things to change. But at this point, it's also just more of a health issue, rather than just a football issue for Reed. The Redskins would be wise to give Reed all the time he needs, especially after what Rob Gronkowski said about the number of concussions he believed he suffered throughout his career. Vernon Davis will continue to start if Reed cannot go, with Jeremy Sprinkle as the No. 2. We'll keep an eye on Reed Friday and throughout the weekend. Washington plays at 1:00 Sunday against Dallas.

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.
