Dalvin Cook (shoulder) trending towards playing vs. Steelers

Dec 09, 2021

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is expected to play tonight against the Pittsburgh Steelers

Fantasy Impact:

Cook was expected to be sidelined until Week 15 but has made a rapid recovery. Cook appears to have healed enough to play and is awaiting final clearance from the team's medical staff ahead of tonight's contest. Alexander Mattison will go back to a reserve role but could see a larger workload than normal if the team chooses to limit Cook's snaps. This is a situation to monitor as it will affect the fantasy value of Mattison as well as Cook for Week 14.

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.
