James Conner (ankle) gets in a full practice session

Sep 17, 2020

According to Dale Lolley on Twitter, Pittsburgh Steelers running James Conner returned to a full practice session on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a remarkable turnaround for Conner, who had many questioning how long he would be able to keep his starting job if Snell continued to succeed while he was sidelined. Barring any setbacks, Conner will step right back into the starting role on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, FAAB dollars be damned. Though he may cede some carries to Benny Snell Jr., Conner has RB2 upside in what projects as a Steelers victory over the Broncos.

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.
