Bears Beat: David Montgomery will carry RB workload if active

Nov 08, 2021

Assuming David Montgomery is indeed activated, it will be Montgomery [carrying the RB workload].

Related players: Khalil Herbert, Damien Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Montgomery has a chance to play tonight against the Steelers and this reporter feels Monty will carry the load this week if active. There are others who cover the league who feel the emerging Herbert will certainly get his share as well, and also believe the days of Montgomery getting the workload he did in the past are gone. That all remains to be seen, but it would be a little surprising to see Herbert phased out after getting at least 18 carries and 72 yards over the last four weeks, including games against formidable defenses.

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.
