Pederson on JJAW: Expect more of him as the season goes on

Sep 18, 2020

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said to expect more J.J. Arcega-Whiteside as the season goes on, according to Reuben Franks of NBC Sports Philadelphia. “He continues to be a part of the game plan," Pederson said Friday. “His role will increase I think each and every week. He’s done an outstanding job for us. … He’s always involved, and he’s going to continue to have targets each and every week.”

Arcega-Whiteside had zero targets during Sunday's loss to the Washington Football Team.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles have a raw and unproven receiving group and need the former second-round pick to deliver on his draft capital. It is impossible to play him in fantasy at the moment, but it is good to here Pederson is still confident in JJAW.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
