Steelers Eli Rogers set for role as slot WR

Sep 10, 2016

Steeler WR Eli Rogers was injured for his entire rookie season, and has since earned his first chance for an expanded role as the slot receiver in the Steelers' offense. He led the team with 10 receptions for 84 yards in the preseason, the most targeted of any receiver on the team.

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds as if Rogers will remain in the slot even with Markus Wheaton ruled out for Week 1. Sammie Coates will take Wheaton's spot on the outside, but he story said all the Steeler WRs can play both inside and outside.

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.
