Gore, Weaver, Curtis...

Dec 20, 2009

You have to believe the Eagles will get a heavy dose of 49ers RB Frank Gore, but Philadelphia's weakness, especially during the loss of LB Akeem Jordan, was their inability to cover a tight end. In the past 10 games, opposing tight ends have caught 70 passes against the Eagles, and that means Alex Smith should be looking for TE Vernon Davis, who leads the 49ers with 11 TDs.

The Eagles should have WR Kevin Curtis back to make up for the loss of rookie WR Jeremy Maclin (torn plantar fasciitis) and RB Brian Westbrook, who still hasn't been cleared to play following two concussions. Eagles FB Leonard Weaver is averaging 6.8 yards per touch in his past seven games; the 49ers will see a lot of Weaver with rookie Lesean Mccoy mixed in.

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.
