More on Devin Hester

Oct 05, 2009

Devin Hester's absence from the sideline in the second half with a shoulder injury caused some concern. Hester suffered the injury with 11 minutes, 55 seconds left in the second quarter. After catching a 2-yard pass on second-and-goal from the 4, Hester got crunched by Lions cornerback William James and safety Louis Delmas. He did not return. "Obviously, (we're) concerned," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "It's bad enough for him to leave the game. And I don't know exactly what it is, but it sounds like he's going to be OK." The NFL Network reported Hester had a stiff neck and would be fine for the Bears' next game Oct. 18. Bears officials maintained it was a shoulder injury. Rashied Davis saw more time at receiver with Hester out.

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.
