Seahawks anticipate getting Marshawn Lynch back for playoffs

Jan 02, 2016

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is likely to return to practice Monday following the team’s Week 17 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

“I have an expectation of that,” Carroll said, via Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com. “Let me say I’m anticipating that.”

Fantasy Impact:

The running back has missed more than half the season dealing with an abdominal injury, among other nicks and bruises. He finally opted for surgery back in late November to fix the problem and is on his way back, provided things go according to plan.

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.
