Schefter: Giants RB Saquon Barkley will miss 4-8 weeks

Sep 23, 2019

MRI revealed Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain that could sideline him anywhere from 4-8 weeks, per source.

Related players: Wayne Gallman, Elijhaa Penny

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter did say the longer timeframe is considered more likely. He went on to say the Giants bye is week 11, so it's possible if Barkley needs 8 weeks, he'll be able to play in the final six games of the season. We'll have to see how the RB split works out between Gallman and Penny, but the team is also likely to bring in another back.

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.
