Report: Carson Palmer tears ACL

Nov 09, 2014

QB Carson Palmer is believed to have torn his ACL, per source. Tests to confirm coming.

Fantasy Impact:

Palmer went down virtually untouched and immediately reached for the knee. NFL.com reported the injury is to the same knee Palmer shredded so severely in 2006 that his surgeon deemed the damage a "four" on a "scale of one to three." Palmer had just signed a three-year, $50 million contract extension (with $20 million guaranteed) Friday to provide extra security in the twilight of his career. Drew Stanton takes over as the starter, but it's a hit to the fantasy value of WRs John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd. Stanton should provide QB2 value for those in need at the position.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
