Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hamstring) may have workload managed early

Sep 09, 2020

Zach Berman of The Athletic reports that Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson is open to the possibility of managing Miles Sanders's workload early in the season due to missed practice time.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders is a tantalizing fantasy prospect this season due to the potential he showed as a rookie and the Eagles' continued insistence that he will operate as a bellcow in 2020. A mid-camp hamstring injury has thrown a wrench in those plans, and Pederson appears intent on monitoring how Sanders handles a full week of practice before committing to him as a workhorse for Week 1 against Washington. It will be worth monitoring the Eagles practice reports throughout the rest of the week to gauge Sanders's workload.

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.
