Report: Randy Moss to Vikings trade in the works

Oct 05, 2010

Jay Glazer is reporting that the Vikings and Patriots have been working on a trade that sends Randy Moss to the Vikings and are very close. But the deal can't be done until Vikings and Moss work out a new contract, which they are working on.

Fantasy Impact:

Initially, this comes as a shocker. As far as fantasy value is concerned, Moss might actually see an uptick if he and Brett Favre can get a connection going. Obviously this would be a big plus for Brett Favre.

On the Patriots side of the ball, Brandon Tate and Aaron Hernandez will be seeing more looks from Tom Brady. The offensive side of the ball was getting crowded, with Brady having a luxury of quality young weapons, which coupled with Moss's expiring contract looks like the reason for the willingness to part ways.

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

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.
