Lions QB Matthew Stafford placed on Reserve/COVID list

Nov 04, 2020

The Lions placed starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on the Reserve/COVID list on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Stafford will now have to clear the league's COVID protocol if he is to return this weekend against the Vikings. It is unclear whether Stafford actually tested positive for the virus or if he just had close contact with someone who did. Either way, the fantasy projections of all Detroit's skill players have to be knocked down a peg with either David Blough or Chase Daniel under center.

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.
