Skins TE Jordan Reed plans to play through shoulder injury

Dec 27, 2016

The Redskins enter Week 17 with an opportunity to earn a playoff spot. To do so, they'll need to beat the Giants.

So, it's a good thing then that they'll have Jordan Reed on the field. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported Tuesday that Reed will play through his shoulder injury Sunday. La Canfora tweeted: "With the Skins fighting for their playoffs lives, TE Jordan Reed will play this weekend, fighting himself thru a painful shoulder injury."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it's a good thing, but that wasn't the case two weeks ago when Reed tried to play through the injury and clearly wasn't himself, recording just one catch before getting ejected from the game. He's tough to trust but did sit out Week 16 so the hope is the time off did some good.

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.
