Panthers QB Sam Darnold in concussion protocol

Nov 01, 2021

Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold left Sunday’s win over the Falcons after taking a hard hit from linebacker Foye Oluokon at the end of an eight-yard run and P.J. Walker ran the offense for the rest of the 19-13 victory.

Fantasy Impact:

On Monday, head coach Matt Rhule said that Darnold is in the concussion protocol. He will be meeting with doctors later in the day and Rhule said that the team expects to know more about his outlook at that point, the story said. If Darnold can't go this week, it would be Walker getting the start. The Panthers have a tough, home matchup against the Patriots in Week 9, but it's an early afternoon game meaning we'll have plenty of notice of Darnold's status.

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.
