Broncos RB Melvin Gordon: 'They want Javonte Williams to be guy'

Aug 17, 2022

Melvin Gordon on Javonte Williams getting the first snaps at practice: “They want ‘Vonte to be the guy”

Fantasy Impact:

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Gordon signed late in the game likely already knowing Williams may lead the way in snaps and touches out of the backfield. Still, Gordon should likely be involved and possibly a lot. Those who cover the team have said the split is around 60-40 in favor of Williams this summer. Finding a way to have both backs on your fantasy roster would be ideal - Williams is going in the late 2nd while Gordon is getting picked in the early 9th round.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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

Mike Garafolo

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
