No Rest For Kansas City Starters

Dec 28, 2010

The Chiefs’ first-round playoff game will also be played at home Jan. 8 or 9.

Asked about the possibility of resting some starters against Oakland, Haley said, “We’re going to do what we think gives us the best chance to win.”

That would appear to imply that Matt Cassel would get the call at quarterback. He had an appendectomy on Dec. 8, missing a beatdown by the Chargers in which Brodie Croyle flopped, but Cassel has looked healthy and played well in two wins since his return.

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.
