Steelers may not limit RB Le'Veon Bell in Week 1

Aug 28, 2018

Steelers OC Randy Fichtner sounds pretty comfortable playing LeVeon Bell in Week 1. Asked about potential need to scale him back, Fichtner said, "That’s a hard question because that’s LeVeon Bell...There are things he can do that, quite frankly, most people can't do."

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers may not plan to limit Bell, but he will have to prove he's in game shape after missing camp thus far. Meanwhile Conner has performed well in the passing game during the preseason. Bell got off to a slow start last year after missing most of camp. Reports said Bell will report to camp no later than Friday of this week while others say Labor Day.

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.
