Sterling Shepard (toe) activated, could play vs. Eagles

Oct 22, 2020

The New York Giants have activated wide receiver Sterling Shepard off injured reserve, opening up the possibility that he can play against the Philadelphia Eagles tonight on Thursday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact:

Shepard will be a game-time decision for Thursday Night Football, as he will test things out prior to the game before a final decision is made on his status. The slot receiver has been sidelined since Week 2 with a toe injury. Shepard could help spark an offense that has struggled without Saquon Barkley. He may see his snaps limited if he does start, so bear that in mind when making any Week 7 lineup decisions involving him.

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.
