Reid: 'I've been honest with RB LeSean McCoy about Damien Williams'

Sep 02, 2019

The Chiefs open the season on Sunday at Jacksonville, and Andy Reid said he expects LeSean McCoy to see action behind starter Damien Williams.

“He knows what to expect,” Reid said of McCoy. “I’ve been very honest with him about Damien and how good of a football player he is. I think it’s a great situation for both of them and for the team. For where he’s at in his career, you’re talking about potentially a future Hall of Famer with the numbers and stats he’s put together here. Here he has an opportunity to come to what potentially is a good football team as we go forward and be a part of that.”

Fantasy Impact:

This could at least calm some nerves of Williams owners as we head into the season. Reading into this quote, it sounds like Reid explained to McCoy he'll backup Williams. Also good news for Williams owners is it will take McCoy some time to get up to speed with the Chiefs playbook, as this offense is different from the anything McCoy and Reid ran together in Philly.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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.
