Rams Beat: Team feels good about Todd Gurley, RB depth

Jul 29, 2019

Charles Robinson, Rams beat writer recently tweeted: Rams feel good about Todd Gurley and RB depth. I’d wager Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson combine for 35% (or more) of RB snaps.

Fantasy Impact:

It seems like Gurley could get a lighter load this season to assure he's ready to go in the postseason. Robinson went on in his tweet to talk about Henderson, and called him "very interesting." He said the plan is for Henderson is to be a Chris Thompson-type. Thompson’s 2016 Redskins film under McVay was a flexible mismatch role. If this holds true, Henderson would have PPR value.

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.
