Browns placed in enhanced mitigation protocols amid COVID outbreak

Dec 14, 2021

Browns most recent COVID-19 testing round, they have been placed in enhanced mitigation protocols by the league.

Adam Schefter reports the team placed the following players on their COVID list: TE Austin Hooper, WR Jarvis Landry, G Wyatt Teller, OT Jedrick Wills, G Drew Forbes, DE Takkarist McKinley, WR JoJo Natson, and Ross Travis.

Fantasy Impact:

Today’s team meetings will be virtual and all players, coaches, and tiered personnel must be masked while indoors. Walkthrough practice still scheduled for this afternoon, but will now be closed to the media. More significant, the team is potentially without several starting lineman, as well as Landry and Hooper for this week's game if they aren't able to test negative twice in 24 hours.

Cowboys "moving away" from RBBC, declaring Rico Dowdle No. 1 RB

Mike McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept, declaring Rico Dowdle the No. 1 RB. “Rico needs to touch the ball,” he said.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook, Hunter Luepke

Fantasy Impact:

This is great and all, but the Cooper Rush-led offense looked beyond miserable last week, and it's hard to see how it's going to get much better moving forward. Consider Dowdle a high-floor/low-ceiling RB3 in Week 11.

WR Jonathan Mingo set to make Cowboys debut in Week 11

Jonathan Mingo is expected to make his debut for the Cowboys this week, per MM.

Mingo was inactive last week following the trade to allow time for ramping up.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of action from Mingo fantasy-wise, but it's not as if he has a murderer's row of talent standing between himself and a WR2 role. He can be left on waiver wires in most every format, but might be worth checking to see if he ended up on waiver wires in Dynasty leagues.
