Jul 08, 2011

Coach Jim Schwartz made it clear that Jahvid Best still was the primary weapon in the Lions' run game. He's still the game-breaker, presuming the turf toe issues are behind him and he stays healthy. But the Lions have a new and exciting toy in Mikel Leshoure. Where Best darts and dances, Leshoure plows. He's thick-bodied and hits the hole hard without any hesitation or fear of fumbling. He's what the Lions have lacked, a pile-moving, short-yardage runner, who can also do some damage in the open field and can catch the football. The guess here is once Leshoure gets comfortable, he might get 40 to 45 percent of the reps.

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.
