Will Matt Hasselbeck's head injury affect his availability?

The team has not used the word "concussion" to describe his condition, but he was unavailable for interviews after Sunday's game and said to be "dinged." His status is going to be a question going forward. Presumably, he will have to be cleared to play this week, something NFL teams have been more rigorous about monitoring this season. Hasselbeck played last season after suffering a head injury in a 27-3 loss to Arizona, but he never left that game. In Oakland, Hasselbeck didn't finish the game, Charlie Whitehurst did. Was that because of the injury to Hasselbeck? These are all questions that will be asked this week.

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.
