RB Ahmad Bradshaw and WR Hakeem Nicks stay home

Nov 05, 2011

The New York Giants announced running back Ahmad Bradshaw and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks did not travel with the team and will not play Sunday against New England.

Fantasy Impact:

It was widely expected that the two wouldn't play. Brandon Jacobs will be the main man in the Giants backfield, and Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz will see extra targets with Nicks out. All are worthy of starts this weekend. Tight end Jake Ballard could also see more passes sent in his direction, and has the potential to be a solid lower-tier TE1.

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.
