Giants RB Saquon Barkley has high ankle sprain

Sep 22, 2019

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Saquon Barkley will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of his ankle injury. Giants coach Pat Shumur did not have an update on Barkley's status after the game except to say he should have more information Monday.

Rapoport later reported that initial tests show that Barkley has a high-ankle sprain, according to sources informed.

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley was already in a boot by the second half of the game. Barkley said the injury was not season-ending and he'd back as soon as he could. But fantasy owners can likely expect to be without Barkley at least for Week 4, and possibly longer. Gallman and Penny look like they will take over in the backfield if Barkley is out.

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.
