Jordan Reed in concussion protocol

Aug 23, 2019

Redskins TE Jordan Reed is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after suffering the injury during Thursday’s preseason game against the Falcons, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact:

Per Rapoport, this is at least the fourth concussion Reed has suffered during the NFL career. Others have noted at least six known concussions for the tight end. A once promising career has been derailed by the numerous concussions. At the very least, Reed is likely questionable, if not doubtful, for Week 1 against the Eagles. It’s possible we see a mix of Vernon Davis and Jeremy Sprinkle in Reed’s absence.

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.
