Washington 'not closing any doors' when it comes to QB Taylor Heinicke in 2022

Nov 23, 2021

Ron Rivera has talked often about the team’s search for a franchise quarterback and said he’s not “closing any doors” when asked about Heinicke possibly remaining the starter beyond this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Heinicke has been leading Washington back into the playoff picture. Rivera said good things about Heinicke, pointing out he's only had 11 starts but "continues to grow and develop." Rivera added he hopes the offense comes along with him. Rivera made some headlines a few weeks ago, saying the team is always looking for the next franchise QB. Getting back WR Curtis Samuel and TE Logan Thomas down the stretch could also be a huge boost for Heinicke.

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.
