Colts to increase RB Donald Brown's snaps

Nov 04, 2010

The only guy out of the top three RBs who is ready to go is Donald Brown. He practiced full Wednesday and we anticipate he will again today. Colts coach Jim Caldwell said Brown did well in practice last week and was continuing his progress. The coach suggested Brown’s play count — he was limited Monday — would likely increase this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles have shut down Frank Gore, Michael Turner and Chris Johnson in consecutive weeks coming into this contest so Brown doesn't present a good matchup. Expect the Colts to attack Dimitri Patterson, who is making his first start at CB in place of Ellis Hobbs.

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.
