Coach Mora expects RB Forsett's role to expand

Dec 12, 2009

Coach Jim Mora said he expects running back Justin Forsett's role to expand Sunday against the Houston Texans.

"Are we going to see more of Justin?" Mora asked. "The answer is yes, absolutely. He's not limited. He had a good week of practice, and he didn't have any setbacks. And we like the things that he has been doing. And we want to increase his role."

Forsett rushed for more than 120 yards in two of Seattle's last three games in November, but he suffered a strained quadriceps in practice two days before Seattle played San Francisco. That injury partly explained why he carried only five times (for 9 yards) against the 49ers. He did catch a 8-yard touchdown pass, though, scoring for the fifth time in four games.

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.
