Packers RB Eddie Lacy (ankle) doesn't practice Tuesday

Oct 18, 2016

Packers running back Eddie Lacy will not practice Tuesday due to ankle soreness, head coach Mike McCarthy said.

This typically wouldn't be all too alarming, considering it's early in a traditional week. But the Packers will take on the Bears on Thursday night, which means it's a short week, and a smaller window for Lacy to get back to feeling good enough to go.

Lacy was a question mark before Sunday's contest with an ankle injury, and though he showed enough strength to lift his 234-pound body over defenders not once, but twice, the wear of the game again has him up in the air (pun unintended) for Green Bay's next game.

Fantasy Impact:

Desperate for backfield depth, the Packers traded for Kansas City running back Knile Davis on Tuesday morning. If Lacy can't go, and with James Starks out, Davis could be a quick contributor at running back. This is a situation to keep an eye on.

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.
