Vikings Beat: Irv Smith Jr. is team's TE1

Oct 20, 2020

Maybe we all assumed this would happen at some point, but it’s noteworthy nonetheless. For the first time, Irv Smith Jr. played more snaps than Kyle Rudolph.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it's partly because the Vikings trailed much of the game. But it’s also because Smith Jr. keeps coming through when the Vikings give him chances. Smith Jr. caught four of five balls thrown his way, including a 36-yard reception. The story said the Vikings need to continue to find ways to get him the ball.

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.
