Russell Wilson has chance to return in four weeks

Oct 10, 2021

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (finger) has a chance to return in four weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Four weeks would be earlier than the original thought from doctors that he could miss six weeks. "That's now the hope and, depending on some other factors, that's possible," according to Schefter's article. Four weeks is the best-case scenario for Wilson and the Seahawks. If that's the case, then he would only miss three games. Seattle has their bye in Week 9, so a return off the bye in Week 10 against the Packers is now possible. For now, it'll be Geno Smith against the Steelers, Saints and Jaguars. Smith went 10/17 for 131 yards with one touchdown and one interception on Thursday against the Rams. Week 6 against the Steelers will be the first game Wilson has ever missed since coming into the NFL in 2012, snapping a streak of 149 consecutive games played.

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.
