Harrison and Hardesty - Workload in Cleveland

Apr 26, 2010

Jerome Harrison waited four years for his chance to be a feature back. When he got it, he rushed for 561 yards in three games.

But now, he has to wonder what his role will be in relation to Montario Hardesty. The Browns didn’t trade into the second round and give up two draft picks for Hardesty to sit.

One guess: The team might try a 50-50 split with the carries and then adjust depending on who produces.

Eric Mangini says Hardesty “tends to punish defenders at the end of runs,” which is not the smaller Harrison’s calling card.

For now, Mangini is playing the diplomacy card. “I like big backs. I like little, fast backs, too.”

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.
