Dolphins QB Skylar Thompson dealing with rib injury

Sep 23, 2024

The Miami Dolphins might be on their third starting quarterback of the young season come Week 4.

Backup quarterback Skylar Thompson was knocked out of Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks with what head coach Mike McDaniel described as a "pretty painful" rib injury, which puts his status for Miami's Sept. 30 game against the Tennessee Titans in question.

McDaniel said that the Dolphins would have a better idea about Thompson's injury on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Reports said Thompson wasn't able to dress himself after the game in Week 3. Boyle and recently signed Huntley look like they could compete to start Week 4 assuming Thompson is unable to go. Huntley may not be quite up to speed yet, but that will remain to be seen. It's going to be a huge downgrade for the entire Dolphin offense. The Dolphins are the first of two Monday night games in Week 4 when they host the Titans.

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.
