Patriots rule out WR Josh Gordon and TEs LaCosse and Izzo for Monday

Oct 19, 2019

The Patriots declared WR Josh Gordon (ankle, knee), TE Ryan Izzo (concussion) and TE Matt LaCosse (knee) our for Monday night against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

None of the three practiced all week. Gordon’s absence is another injury question mark for the Patriots as Julian Edelman (chest) and Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) were both limited all week and are listed as questionable for the game but will likely play Monday. The injuries to the tight ends help show why the Patriots brought back Ben Watson after releasing him following his suspension to start the season and now he’s in line to start, though the position has certainly become more of an afterthought without Rob Gronkowski.

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.
