Bucs Release RB Derrick Ward

Aug 31, 2010

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut RB Derrick Ward, just 18 months after making him a big free-agent acquisition.

Ward rushed for just 419 yards last season in Tampa, one year after collecting 1,025 yards for New York.

Bucs head coach Raheem Morris had expressed displeasure with Ward earlier this month when he said the running back's poor performance was the result of bad conditioning.

Fantasy Impact:

RB Kareem Huggins will back up Cadillac Williams and will be moving up in the next rankings update.

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.
