Dec 04, 2010

Carolina Panthers safety Sherrod Martin was fined $40,000 for a hit in Sunday's game at Cleveland, his fourth offense in the eyes of the league.

The amount of the fine shocked teammates, especially when you consider Tennessee's Cortland Finnegan and Houston's Andre Johnson were fined $25,000 for their on-field melee last week.

Martin was fined twice last year, then $5,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss from the opener this year. Boss was knocked out of that game and missed the following week with a concussion, but Browns tight end Evan Moore continued to play last week.

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.
