Ravens Beat: TEs will likely split snaps

Aug 30, 2016

Dennis Pitta, Crockett Gillmore and Maxx Williams have all made their marks with the Ravens. They all can be the No. 1 tight end, and they would likely split snaps and targets if they can avoid issues that have sidelined them in the past.

Fantasy Impact:

This obviously isn't a great fantasy situation. Right now, Gillmore has had the most practice time and would probably have the edge at least to start the season. Pitta and Williams have just returned, but Pitta hasn't played a game since Week 3 of 2014. Williams was the top TE drafted in 2015 but just needs to stay healthy to get a chance. Pitta has been a top red zone target for QB Joe Flacco and that may be a place where he stands out. This is looking like a wait-and-see fantasy situation and perhaps one to avoid until we learn more.

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.
