Saints release TE Coby Fleener

May 07, 2018

After two seasons in New Orleans, the Saints have parted ways with tight end Coby Fleener.

Fantasy Impact:

During his two-year stint in New Orleans, Fleener caught a combined 72 receptions for 926 yards and five touchdowns. The Saints will be fine without him, as they brought back Ben Watson (who caught 74 passes for 825 yards and six scores as a Saint in 2015) and still have Josh Hill rostered.

As for Fleener, his concussion history will play a factor now that he's a free agent. Teams in need of tight help include the Jets, Cowboys, and Seahawks.

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

Mike Garafolo

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
