49ers Beat: RB Jeff Wilson is team's goal line back

Sep 23, 2019

Jeff Wilson Jr. might be just 6 feet tall and weigh under 200 pounds, but he has turned into the 49ers' unofficial goal line running back. He has scored four touchdowns in the last two games alone, including two during the 49ers' 24-20 victory over the Steelers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

Related players: Tevin Coleman, Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the team hasn't had a power back since Frank Gore. Wilson had 30 TDs in his final two seasons while at North Texas and he describes his running style as very simple and straight ahead. Wilson's value is TD dependent as he only had eight carries for 18 yards, but, at the same time he will take away from Coleman, Mostert and Breida's fantasy value.

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.
