Oakland Raiders sign kicker Dave Rayner

Oct 22, 2011

The Oakland Raiders are signing kicker Dave Rayner, who won a competition there on Friday. Rayner will face the Chiefs on Sunday. Oakland could get Janikowski back after their week eight bye.

Fantasy Impact:

Rayner hit 13 out of 16 field goals last year in Detroit while filling in for an injured Jason Hanson. With Kyle Boller likely to start at quarterback, the outlook for Oakland's offense isn't great despite a good matchup with the Chiefs. There should be better options available if you need a replacement for Seabass.

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.
