Texans QB C.J. Stroud in concussion protocol

Dec 11, 2023

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is in the league's concussion protocol.

Related players: Davis Mills

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport said, there's a real chance in a must-win game for the Texans, they may have to turn to Mills to start at QB. Stroud took a rough hit where the back of his head hit the turf. The good news is, it would be a favorable matchup against a Titans defense that can be vulnerable to the pass should Mills have to play, and you need his services. The trend this year has been players missing a week of action after entering protocol, but like Rapoport added, every player recovers differently. Obviously Stroud's status will need to be monitored this week. The Texans and Titans do play an early game on Sunday so Stroud owners will have some time to adjust, but there are also four games taking place before Sunday, so start making backup plans now.

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.
