Pederson: QB Carson Wentz not yet cleared for contact

Aug 26, 2018

Doug Pederson said that Carson Wentz has not been cleared for contact.

Related players: Nick Foles

Fantasy Impact:

There continues to be different opinions around the league as to whether or not Wentz will play Week 1. Wentz has said all along "it's going to be close" as far as him being ready to go. He also added it will be up to the doctors. There are those who said the team's schedule gets harder after Week 4, so it's possible the Birds try to ride out the first few games with Foles under center. One thing is for sure, the Eagles will use caution when it comes to their franchise QB.

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.
