Rookie QB is the key to a Jonathan Taylor extension

Jun 26, 2023

After months of sidestepping the question of a contract extension with the Colts, RB Jonathan Taylor has changed his tone, remarking that "it's kind of on (the Colts) right now." Beat writer James Boyd believes that Anthony Richardson's need for some offensive stability and, of course, the quarterback's rookie contract should open the door for that extension.

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor just wants "to be treated fairly," but the negotiations are likely tough after missing so much time due to an ankle injury in 2022. Taylor and Richardson could turn into a very interesting 1-2 punch if the quarterback can get up to speed quickly, which makes him a top-5 RB for the foreseeable future in Indianapolis.

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.
