With Kerry Collins hurting and Vince Young on IR, the Texans will face rookie QB Rusty Smith and that is great news for their awful pass defense, one that is allowing 301 yards passing per game. The Texans will be allowed to focus on stopping RB Chris Johnson, who averaged 174 rushing yards on 7.7 yards per carry in two meetings last season. If Johnson gets going, it might help Smith connect with receivers Nate Washington and Randy Moss.

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.
