Steelers TE Vance McDonald (shoulder) doesn't return in Week 3

Sep 22, 2019

ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler is reporting Vance McDonald is questionable to return with a shoulder injury. Without McDonald in the game the only Steelers tight end is Xavier Grimble.

Fantasy Impact:

McDonald never came back to the game, and we'll have to monitor the injury as far as Week 4 goes. The Steelers offense did not look good against the 49ers so even if McDonald plays, Mason Rudolph will need to improve at QB. Gimble is next up on the depth chart, and the team will have to make a move if McDonald is out for any time.

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.
