Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has slight MCL sprain

Nov 07, 2016

Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a slight MCL sprain on Sunday in a loss to the Dolphins, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

The diagnosis further complicates head coach Todd Bowles' decision to stay with the 33-year-old veteran amid a 3-6 season. Fitzpatrick threw another two interceptions on Sunday, extending his lead over all other quarterbacks.

Fantasy Impact:

Fitzpatrick briefly exited Sunday's loss to get a brace on the injured knee but returned. Bryce Petty, a 2015 fourth-round draft pick, was active behind Fitzpatrick on Sunday and would be the most likely replacement candidate should Fitzpatrick need to sit a week. Whether or not Fitzpatrick plays will come down to pain tolerance and Bowles' digression, 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.
