Lions QB Matthew Stafford likes his chances for Week 11

Nov 16, 2020

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said during his weekly television appearance on FOX2 in Detroit that X-rays on his right hand were negative, giving him a much greater chance of playing Sunday against Carolina.

"I did get some X-rays after the game and they were negative. No fractures or breaks in there," Stafford said on the station. "A couple, I'm sure, tests throughout the week but, you know, I'm going to do everything I can to be out there. I'm going to do what I can.

"So I like my chances."

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford injured the hand in the first quarter of Sunday's 30-27 win against Washington on a sack from Kevin Pierre-Louis that was flagged for a personal foul. He had his hand taped up at the thumb and the wrist and remained in the game, completing 24 of 33 passes for 276 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He also had no problem celebrating with teammates -- throwing hand included -- after Matt Prater's 59-yard field goal, the story all said.

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.
