NFL reinstates WR Josh Gordon

Aug 16, 2019

NFL is reinstating Patriots’ WR Josh Gordon, league source tells ESPN.

Josh Gordon may attend but may not play in the Patriots' Thursday, August 22 preseason game. But ready to go for the regular season.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Josh Gordon: “We are all rooting for Josh to succeed, both personally and professionally. Everyone shares in that hope and will continue to support him to every extent possible. But as Josh acknowledged, ultimately his success is up to him."

Fantasy Impact:

Goodbye 15th-round ADP. Josh Gordon's reinstatement should send his draft spot climbing, but just how far will be interesting to see. Gordon can't play in this upcoming preseason contest but should be on the field for the Patriots to start the regular season. Last year in 12 games, Gordon averaged 11.6 PPR points per contest. For now, treat him as a WR4.

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.
