Panthers QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) to miss several weeks

Nov 09, 2021

After two days of testing, exams revealed that Panthers QB Sam Darnold has a fractured scapula, sources say.

Related players: Phillip Walker

Fantasy Impact:

The right shoulder injury will most likely lead to Darnold missing several weeks. Walker, his backup, will step in. Some who follow the team were saying it was time for the Panthers to bench Darnold. However, they also admitted Walker is likely not the answer either. At this point, Walker could be showcasing for the rest of this season even when Darnold is able to return. Walker is worth grabbing in deeper, two-QB and superflex leagues.

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.
