Stephens-Howlings in 2010?

Dec 05, 2009

Larod Stephens-howling was about to enter his senior year at Pittsburgh when coach Dave Wannstedt asked him to play special teams.

Stephens-Howling, the Panthers' former starting running back, could have balked, but he chose to embrace the role, figuring it would help his team and make him more attractive to NFL scouts.

It was a wise decision. Stephens-Howling's special teams ability was a big reason the Cardinals drafted him in the seventh round, and he hasn't disappointed.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt envisions Stephens-Howling in a bigger role in coming seasons.

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.
