Panthers TE Greg Olsen officially questionable but expected to play

Oct 13, 2018

Greg Olsen is officially questionable for Sunday's game. But coach Ron Rivera likes his chances.

Fantasy Impact:

It's not a stone cold lock Olsen plays, but Rivera is making all the right noises, so we expect him to be out there. How effective he will be against the Redskins' seventh-ranked defense against tight ends in our Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed metric is another story. Already slowing down due to age and wear-and-tear and now nursing a foot that Olsen has admitted will need surgery this off-season won't make the 33-year-old any sprier. Our number 17 tight end for the week and at risk of re-injury, there are probably better options for all but the most desperate owner.

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.
