Patriots don't plan to add another QB by Thursday

Sep 19, 2016

Either the New England Patriots know something we don't, or they're willing to live quite dangerously this Thursday in their game against the Houston Texans.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team currently has no plans to add another quarterback to the roster for its game in three days. The only healthy, non-suspended quarterback on the roster is rookie third-round pick Jacoby Brissett.

Fantasy Impact:

The broadcast team doing the Patriots game in Week 2 indicated WR Julian Edelman is the team's emergency QB, but the story said there was no indication from Edelman or HC Bill Belichick commented. Edelman played QB at Kent State.

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.
