Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (MCL) has 'pretty good' chance to play Week 11

Nov 15, 2021

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters in his Monday press conference that running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is close to returning from his sprained MCL.

“I think he has a better shot [to play] this week. Pretty good chance,” Reid said, via Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star.

Fantasy Impact:

Edwards-Helaire has been out since suffering the injury in Kansas City’s Week 5 loss to Buffalo. It will be interesting to see if CEH steps back into the top spot. Williams ran 11 times for 43 yards, but more impressively caught nine passes for 101 yards and a TD. CEH hasn't caught more than three balls in any of his seven games so far this season. The Chiefs have been forced to check down more and Edward-Helaire will need to be involved in the passing game to be a safe fantasy starter again.

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.
