Saints RB Alvin Kamara missing time over contract

Aug 31, 2020

Saints running back Alvin Kamara said earlier in August he wasn’t worried about his next contract.

That appears to have changed. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Saints running back has had unexcused absences the last three days, because of his contract.

Fantasy Impact:

Kamara’s entering the final year of his rookie deal, set to make $2.133 million this year. While injuries affected him last year, he should still be in line for a solid payday, even if the Christian McCaffrey deal with the Panthers (four years, $64 million) skewed the scale.

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.
