O'Brien on Arian Foster: 'I think we're close'

Sep 28, 2015

Texans coach Bill O’Brien was noncommittal on whether Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster will return Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, but acknowledged he’s nearing being back after undergoing groin surgery in August.

“I think we’re close,” O’Brien said Monday without offering a prediction on whether Foster will or won’t play.

Fantasy Impact:

Houston travels to Atlanta for an early game so owners will have plenty of notice to adjust lineups if Foster plays, but beware of a reduced workload if he does. Hopefully we have a better idea as the week goes on.

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

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.
