Jets WR Eric Decker 'not worried about missing any time next year'

Oct 22, 2016

Jets coach Todd Bowles said recently it'll be "close" in terms of whether wide receiver Eric Decker will be ready for the start of the 2017 season.

During his regular appearance Friday on ESPN New York radio, Decker said he definitely will be ready by the start of 2017.

"I'm not worried about missing any time next year," Decker said. "I'll be fine by the start of next year."

Fantasy Impact:

Decker just underwent hip surgery, and still has to undergo shoulder surgery, to repair a partially torn rotator cuff. Total recovery time is about 14 months according to reports we had this week but Decker thinks he can be back in time for 2017.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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.
