Patriots QB Cam Newton back at practice

Sep 01, 2020

Patriots quarterback Cam Newton‘s absence from practice was a short one.

Via Phil Perry of NBCSportsBoston.com, Newton was back on the field Tuesday morning for the Patriots’ fully padded practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Newton had an excused absence from Monday’s work, with no other reason given. While not being named the starter - yet, it seems - HC Bill Belichick has praised Newton's work ethic so it should only be a matter of time before things are official.

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.
