Cam Newton not at practice Saturday

Oct 10, 2020

Patriots QB Cam Newton was not at practice for the Patriots Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Saturday was the first day back at the team facilities for the Patriots after the positive cases for Newton and CB Stephon Gilmore. Neither player practiced Saturday. There’s no clarity at all as to who the Patriots will start at quarterback against the Broncos on Monday after Brian Hoyer had a miserable day against the Chiefs and was benched for Jarrett Stidham, who had his ups and downs as well. Bill Belichick said the team is taking it “day by day, hour by hour.” As of now, we have Stidham ranked at No. 23. This is a situation worth keeping a close eye on (and perhaps to avoid if you have, likely, better options).

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
