Gruden: RB Rob Kelley still 'lead dog'

Sep 25, 2017

He's still nursing sore ribs stemming from the Week 2 win over the Rams. Rob Kelley had expressed confidence last week that he would play vs. the Raiders, but the team decided otherwise and shut him down. But when he returns, Kelley will be the No. 1 back.

"He got [78] yards rushing in a quarter and a half last week, so he's still our No. 1 lead dog," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.

Fantasy Impact:

He'll practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited role, the story said. The Redskins don't play again until Monday night at Kansas City so owners will need a backup plan.

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.
