Matthew Stafford misses practice again Thursday

Nov 14, 2019

Lions QB Matthew Stafford missed practice again Thursday with fractures in his back.

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford is likely headed toward missing another game in Week 11 with the injury. The Lions offense wasn’t as sharp, as expected, with Jeff Driskel at quarterback, who would get another start if Stafford cannot go. Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay would continue to be boom or bust plays with Driskel in. With the way Stafford had been battling throughout his career, this is obviously a tough injury for him. You start to wonder if the Lions will put the idea of shutting him down in the back of their heads, sitting at 3-5-1 and facing a tough game against the Cowboys in Week 11.

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.
