New England RB Fred Taylor Misses Another Practice

Oct 02, 2010

On a day that usually has them flying down to wherever they’ve playing, the Patriots held practice today on the Gillette Stadium practice fields in preparation for Monday night’s game against the Dolphins.

Tomorrow, of course, will be travel day. So, what happened at Patriots practice?

As it turns out, the Patriots worked out without running back Fred Taylor for the fourth consecutive day. Based on past precedent, that would indicate Taylor (toe) will be out for the Dolphins game, though it hasn’t been made official.

Fantasy Impact:

With Taylor likely to be out, BenJarvus Green-Ellis will see a lot action. We can expect to see a dose of Sammy Morris and Danny Woodhead as well. Green-Ellis is the best fantasy choice, but as always, the New England running back situation is unpredictable.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
