Rams placing Darrell Henderson (MCL) on IR

Dec 27, 2021

Rams’ HC Sean McVay said RB Darrell Henderson Jr. is being placed on injured reserve due to an MCL injury.

Fantasy Impact:

With Henderson's season over, it would be assumed Michel takes over as the RB1 for at least Week 17. But the team said there is a good possibility Akers plays in Week 17 coming off an Achilles injury. One wouldn't think the Rams give Akers a ton of work this week, meaning Michel should be an RB1 play, coming off another huge game. We'll likely hear more about Akers' role as the week goes on. The Rams play at the Ravens in an early Sunday game in Week 17.

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.
