Bears place WR Eddie Royal on IR

Dec 19, 2016

The Bears have made frequent use of the injured reserve list this season and they added another name to the rolls on Monday.

Coach John Fox announced that wide receiver Eddie Royal’s season is over due to a toe injury. Royal last played in Week 12 and played in just nine games this season.

Fantasy Impact:

The story added Royal is signed for next season at a salary of $5 million, but the Bears may choose to spend their money elsewhere in hopes of finding a more reliable option in the passing game.

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.
