Sep 17, 2011

With Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant questionable to play in Sunday’s game at San Francisco after missing three straight days of practice because of a bruised thigh, Kevin Ogletree could be in the starting lineup for the first time in his career.

Ogletree had two catches for 12 yards in the season opening loss to the New York Jets. He needs one reception to equal last year’s total.

"Kevin’s ready," said Miles Austin, who is probable for the game with a knee injury and was limited in Friday’s practice. “He knows all the positions, inside, outside. He’s definitely going to be ready if someone can’t go."

Ogletree was never seriously challenged for the No. 3 receiver role behind Austin and Bryant and finished the preseason with three catches for 34 yards.

Fantasy Impact:

It's hard to get excited about Ogletree, but if you can change lineups before the late games and Dez doesn't end up playing, he could be an emergency option.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
