Slaton sees specialist

Dec 08, 2009

Texans RB Steve Slaton, who was inactive for the Jacksonville game, is seeing Dr. Drew Dossett, a spine specialist whose clients include the Cowboys and Texas Rangers, in Dallas today. For the last month, Slaton has been experiencing numbness in his shoulder, but it would go away and allow him to play. Last week, the numbness went into his thumb and didn't go away.

“He'll be reevaluated and will be day to day,” coach Gary Kubiak said.

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.
