Broncos use hot hand approach at RB Week 1

Sep 10, 2018

Though Royce Freeman did salt the game away in the fourth quarter, it was Phillip Lindsay who wound up doing plenty of damage in the first three quarters for Denver. In a stunner, Lindsay took 15 carries and turned them into 71 yards, just as Freeman did, but added two grabs for 31 yards including, a 29-yard touchdown from Case Keenum to give the Broncos their first score of the year.

After the game, Broncos coach Vance Joseph said he went with Lindsay because he had the hot hand but expressed that one game does not make him the king of the backfield. "Every game is different," Joseph cautioned.

Lindsay was quite a surprise in Week 1 and essentially split carries with Freeman while also collecting three targets and two catches, one of which went for a TD.

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.
