The Seahawks allow 302 passing yards a game, the second-worst total in the league, but it sounds like Mad Mike Martz is going to stick with Chicago’s running game in order to protect QB Jay Cutler. The Bears only threw the ball 19 times in a 23-6 win in Carolina last Sunday, but Bears RB Matt Forte gained 168 yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns, including a 68-yard gallop for a score. Reserve runner Chester Taylor also added 43 rushing yards. “They got out of their norm a little bit,” said Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. To make it work, the Bears have reshuffled their offensive line by moving tackle Chris Williams to left guard for the injured Roberto Garza. If Chicago can get the running game untracked, you can bet that Cutler will then be able to use play-action and Seattle doesn’t have the secondary to stay with Chicago’s speeding receiving corps, especially Johnny Knox and Devin Hester.

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.
