Wade Phillips not sure if Roy Williams will play

Oct 23, 2009

Roy Williams said Thursday he will play Sunday against the Falcons, but coach Wade Phillips is not so sure.

Williams' bruised ribs are still giving him some trouble even though he has practiced every day this week, and Phillips does not want to get caught in a situation where Williams lasts only a few plays Sunday and cannot continue.

Williams will practice today, which will go a long way to determining his availability Sunday. Even if Williams plays, there is a chance rookie Kevin Ogletree could be active for a second straight weeks. Just guessing, but I would expect Williams to be listed as questionable for the game.

"You can tell he's in pain sometimes during practice, catching the ball, those kinds of things," Phillips said. "I think it's lessened as the week has gone along, but we'll see where he is today."

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.
