Matthew Stafford placed on Reserve/COVID-19 list

Aug 01, 2020

The Lions placed QB Matthew Stafford on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

A reminder, this list doesn’t necessarily mean a player tested positive for the virus, he could have also just been in close contact with someone that did. Nonetheless, it’s a very noteworthy addition to the list in what has been an ever-growing list. Stafford should be good by the time the Lions put the pads on later this month but still worth monitoring the situation, especially considering how the Lions’ season tanked after Stafford went down with a back injury.

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.
