Chiefs Beat: RB LeSean McCoy to take 'large percentage' of reps

Sep 01, 2019

LeSean McCoy’s addition to the Chiefs shakes up the running back depth chart. The Chiefs will now have McCoy, Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson and Darrel Williams in the running back room, with McCoy, 31, likely to take a large percentage of the reps along with starter Damien Williams.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams and McCoy are both capable of catching passes out of the backfield so this could even cut into Williams' value in PPR leagues. Reid typically doesn't use a committee at RB, but this is certainly shaping up to look like some kind of split with Williams and McCoy getting a bulk of the work. Perhaps most hurt here is Darwin Thompson who moves down on the depth chart.

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.
