Jets WR Eric Decker has hip surgery; 2017 now in jeopardy

Oct 18, 2016

Injured Jets wide receiver Eric Decker had hip surgery Tuesday, the team announced, and that was just part of the surprising news regarding Decker’s status.

Decker is on the injured-reserve list due to a shoulder injury. Per the team, the hip surgery was “deemed necessary” during an evaluation for the shoulder injury last week.

Fantasy Impact:

PFT reported the Jets statement said the anticipated recovery time for the hip surgery is six months, and once Decker is off crutches he will then have shoulder surgery and have an eight-month timetable for recovery from the shoulder surgery. If Decker is out for 14 months, that means he’ll miss most or all of next season, too, the story 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.
