Patriots rule out WR Josh Gordon and TEs LaCosse and Izzo for Monday

Oct 19, 2019

The Patriots declared WR Josh Gordon (ankle, knee), TE Ryan Izzo (concussion) and TE Matt LaCosse (knee) our for Monday night against the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

None of the three practiced all week. Gordon’s absence is another injury question mark for the Patriots as Julian Edelman (chest) and Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) were both limited all week and are listed as questionable for the game but will likely play Monday. The injuries to the tight ends help show why the Patriots brought back Ben Watson after releasing him following his suspension to start the season and now he’s in line to start, though the position has certainly become more of an afterthought without Rob Gronkowski.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
