Broncos sign McGahee; Moreno to remain starter

Jul 29, 2011

The Broncos appear to be closing in on signing veteran running back Willis McGahee. ESPN is reporting McGahee has reached a three-year, $7.5 million agreement with the Broncos, but the team will not confirm an agreement.

McGahee has been the Broncos' No. 1 choice in free agency. He played for Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville when both were in Buffalo from 2004 to 2007.

He is expected to complement running back Knowshon Moreno, not replace him as the starter.

Fantasy Impact:

All things considered, Moreno's value has made it through free agency pretty well. McGahee will rotate in, but Moreno will get early down work as well as the vast majority of the third-down snaps since he is such a good receiver. McGahee may vulture some goal line carries, however.

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.
