Randy Moss Fantasy Implications

Oct 06, 2010

Second year receiver Brandon Tate is likely to be the Patriots' new deep threat in the wake of the Randy Moss trade.

Fantasy Impact:

The Randy Moss trade has all kinds of fantasy implications. The value increases on players like Wes Welker, Brandon Tate, Aaron Hernandez (assuming they respond and step up their play). However, how will Tom Brady respond after losing a major deep threat? The New England running game loses value. On the Minnesota front, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Brett Favre all get a fantasy boost.

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
