Pierre Thomas will be game-day decision

Jan 01, 2011

New Orleans Saints tailback Pierre Thomas didn't practice Saturday during the team's final tune-up for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coach Sean Payton said, "The big thing now is just keeping his weight off it and getting the treatment, and we'll see where he's at tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

If Thomas can't go, Chris Ivory could have a nice fantasy day against a Bucs defense that has allowed huge days to Maurice Morris and Ryan Torain of late. Reggie Bush and Julius Jones will also be in the mix for more carries. If Thomas is active, the situation should be avoided all together.

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.
