Patriots Beat: Rumors of a WR Antonio Brown return

Nov 19, 2019

There's a fun little conjecture storm brewing in the Boston area right now and it centers around, who else, wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown issued a "public" apology on Tuesday -- via both Instagram and Twitter -- to Patriots' owner Robert Kraft for since-deleted comments Brown made about Kraft after his release from New England.

Fantasy Impact:

The author said he's hearing a lot of buzz about a Brown return to the Pats. Aside from the apology, an unhappy Tom Brady said the Patriots are winning because of their defense. With the O struggling, Brady is getting beat up a bit and is lacking weapons and Brown return makes sense. The problem is Brown's status with the NFL is unclear. Brown also filed a grievance against the Pats to get his signing bonus back.

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.
