RB Derrick Ward Out With Head Injury

Aug 21, 2010

Tampa Bay running back Derrick Ward left Saturday's game against Kansas City with what the team called a head injury and that means it’s possible he suffered a concussion. The team said Ward will not return to the game.

Ward was one of Tampa Bay’s big free-agent signings last year, but he has struggled since he joined the Bucs. He was unable to beat out Cadillac Williams for the starting job and wasn’t a big factor last year.

Ward had a rough outing, including two fumbles, in last week’s preseason game with Miami. He also was unimpressive through most of training camp and there has been speculation Kareem Huggins could be challenging him for the No. 2 running back spot.

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.
