Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger missed practice

Sep 13, 2018

Ben Roethlisberger missed practice for the second straight day with an elbow injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Big Ben seems truly day-to-day at this point. If he doesn't practice Friday, we'd be worried, but for now, we are cautiously optimistic. In the event he can't go, Josh Dobbs would be the man under center for Week 2. While that wouldn't be ideal for Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, they are still must-starts. The same can be said for James Conner, whose workload would likely increase if Ben sits. Dobbs would not be a recommended play in all but the deepest of leagues.

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.
