The Carolina Panthers have made their quarterback decision.

According to multiple league sources, the Panthers have decided to keep sixth-round pick Tony Pike as their third quarterback and waive Hunter Cantwell.

Neither passer lit it up in the preseason, with Pike finishing with a team-high 58.4 passer rating to Cantwell’s 57.2.

Starter Matt Moore finished with a 56.1 rating and rookie backup Jimmy Clausen had a 46.8 rating.

Cantwell opened training camp as Moore’s backup based on his experience, and had the strongest arm on the team by far. But the Panthers went with Pike based in part on the intangibles they saw as similar to former quarterback Jake Delhomme.

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.
