Jets TE Chris Herndon will be starter

Aug 16, 2020

Jets head coach Adam Gase was singing the praises of Chris Herndon after Sunday’s practice.

“He’s our starting tight end,” Gase flatly said.

Fantasy Impact:

Herndon had 39 catches for 502 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie in 2018 and was a popular pickup, but missed essentially all of last season with various injuries, all but 18 snaps worth. Herndon is just 22nd on our TE list coming into this season. Griffin is also expected to be a factor for the Jets and could steal some snaps from Herndon.

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.
