McNabb getting a do-over?

Jun 03, 2009

It makes sense that the Eagles might agree to at least guarantee some of the more than $19 million they are scheduled to pay Donovan Mcnabb over the next 2 years, and perhaps even boost that total .While the Eagles might not be ready to commit to McNabb at a huge figure beyond 2010, they certainly expect him to start (and, they hope, lead them to the Super Bowl) this season. If McNabb stays healthy and the offense is productive, there's no reason to think that won't be the case in 2010, as well. Clearly, the contract McNabb signed in 2002 is outdated, even more than the deal disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown signed 2 years later. (And McNabb has half the time remaining on his deal that Brown does, since the rest of McNabb's reported 12-year deal voids if he is on the roster at the end of 2010.)

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
