Following a demoralizing 34-7 loss to the Chargers, 49ers coach Mike Singletary said he considered inserting quarterback Troy Smith for Alex Smith, who fell back to earth after an exceptional game against Seattle on Sunday. Singletary also left open the possibility of going with Troy Smith in next Sunday's game in St. Louis.

"Once again, I want to get back and look at the film," Singletary said. "It wasn't just Alex. ... I think our offensive line has to do a better job in terms of protecting him." Smith was 19 of 29 for 165 yards and was sacked six times.

Singletary said he didn't remove Alex Smith from the game because "it would have been unfair to Troy Smith" who didn't get any first-team snaps in the abbreviated work week. "It is a different thing from going from Troy to Alex," he said. "I think it is a horrific thing to go from Alex to Troy."

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.
