Pat Shurmur: Eli Manning likely to start Monday, Daniel Jones has moderate high ankle sprain

Dec 04, 2019

Giants head coach Pat Shurmur announced Wednesday that Daniel Jones has a moderate high ankle sprain, is in a walking boot and will not practice Wednesday. Eli Manning is now very likely to start Monday night against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones suffered the injury in Week 13 against the Packers but was initially thought to be fine after just twisting his ankle. The injury now seems to be a bit worse than originally expected and now Eli Manning will jump back into the starting lineup Monday night. For as bad as Manning was at the beginning of the season, he faces an Eagles defense that has been shredded throughout the season and Sterling Shepard is back. We could be for an interesting game, so to speak, Monday night.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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.
