Broncos RB Melvin Gordon suffers sprained thumb

Dec 13, 2021

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon suffered a sprained thumb in Sunday’s game, source said, but it doesn’t figure to limit his playing time going forward.

Related players: Javonte Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon returned to the game yesterday and ran for 111 yards. Gordon carried 24 times to Williams' 15. Both back scored two TDs in the romp over the Lions (Williams had a TD catch) but at this point it looks like Gordon remains a slightly better fantasy play, at least based on volume.

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.
