Rapoport: 'Hard to imagine' Vikings WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) playing Week 8

Oct 21, 2019

Vikings WR Adam Thielen will get an MRI and Ian Rapoport said "it's hard to imagine" Thielen playing on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport added "stranger things have happened" but doesn't seem to think Thielen will be able to go on Thursday against the Redskins. The injury isn't considered serious but the timing is bad for Thielen and his owners. Remember, we reported Thielen said Sunday he thought he could play in Week 8, but like we said, player self-diagnosis like that can't always be trusted. He's a question mark at best.

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.
