Arians: Unsure when Antonio Brown will play

Oct 27, 2021

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians told reporters Wednesday that WR Antonio Brown is dealing with a sprain around his heel and that he's been using a crutch. Arians is unsure when Brown will be on the field again. "Could be after the bye (Week 10) or could be a long time. It's wait and see."

This is ominous news regarding Brown. Tyler Johnson will line up in three-wide sets as long as Brown is out.

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

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.
