Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger feels that if there’s any silver lining to Chris Johnson’s continued absence during offseason workouts, it’s been the increased repetitions for second-year back Javon Ringer.

Ringer saw action in seven games last season, but carried just eight times for 48 yards. He didn’t catch any passes.

''I think this has been really good for Javon," Heimderdinger said Monday, at the Titans Charity Golf Classic at Hillwood Country Club. ''Javon had like his redshirt year (as a rookie). He carried the ball a lot of times in college. His running ability is really good."

Fantasy Impact:

While it may be good news for Ringer, hopefully for those who dream of protecting Chris Johnson in keeper leagues, you're not watching Ringer get all the carries in September...

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.
