Rex Ryan to "eat them words"

Jan 08, 2010

Rex Ryan may want to cancel his dinner plans for tomorrow night. After hearing the Jets coach crown his team Super Bowl favorites, the Bengals are planning a different kind of meal for
him.

"They're going to eat them words after [the game]," Bengals receiver Andre Caldwell said. "I don't think they should be the Super Bowl favorites. They've got to get through us first."

Several Bengals reacted with disgust yesterday to Ryan's boast that his team will hold the Lombardi Trophy in a month.

"I don't give a rat's ass what he says," safety Chris Crocker said. "Honestly, it doesn't matter. One thing I will say is that they definitely have our attention. We do respect them, but we have a lot to prove this game. We don't care what he says though."

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.
