Nov 14, 2010

Rookie QB Jimmy Clausen (0-3) will start for the Panthers while Mike Goodson will make his first start at running back for the Panthers. In addition, Jon Beason moves back to his old spot at middle linebacker, and Nic Harris, a castoff from the Bills, will start at weak-side linebacker.

Clausen might be OK because the Bucs have only six sacks this season. First-round pick DT Gerald McCoy, the third overall pick, remains sackless. In fact, Bucs are on pace to finish with one of the lowest sack totals in NFL history. Clausen, who has completed eight passes for 99 yards to Steve Smith in three games, must get Smith more involved and be quick about it. Bucs CB Aqib Talib will be focusing on Smith all day.

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.
