Michael Thomas has Grade 1 hamstring strain, likely to miss Week 8

Oct 25, 2020

Saints WR Michael Thomas has a Grade 1 hamstring strain and will miss 1-2 weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s pretty likely now that Thomas will not play next week against the Chicago Bears. This means New Orleans will likely have another game next week without Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders, with Sanders recovering from COVID-19. Thomas was near a return from the ankle injury suffered in Week 1 but suffered the hamstring injury earlier this week in practice. Thomas, and perhaps Sanders, could be back for a huge Week 9 rematch with the Buccaneers.

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.
