RB Julius Jones Stays in Seattle After All

Sep 06, 2010

A league source tells Pro Football Talk that veteran running back Julius Jones will be staying in Seattle. Per the source, Jones was never actually cut.

Instead, he restructured his contract in order to avoid being released.

And so the Seahawks will continue with a depth chart that currently shows Jones as the starter, Justin Forsett as the second-stringer, and Leon Washington third.

Fantasy Impact:

Just when we thought Julius had used up his ninth life, he's back again and ready to provide the Seahawks with another season of ordinary play. Justin Forsett and Leon Washington had moved up in our rankings when it was reported Jones was cut and are still the best Seattle backs to have, but Jones will probably take some carries away from both of them.

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.
