Lions: Stafford 'no more than day-to-day'

Oct 24, 2011

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Lions QB Matt Stafford is in a walking boot with a sprained ankle. We’re told that, as of now, the thinking is that it’s slightly better than the dreaded high ankle sprain.

Stafford will be getting a second opinion later in the week, which suggests that there’s something about the first opinion that Stafford may not have liked. At this point, it’s unknown whether he’ll miss any time.

Officially, coach Jim Schwartz told the media on Monday that Stafford is “no more than day-to-day” with that ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Stafford owners. He appears to be on target to play this week, with a bye the following week. We'll be sure to keep an eye on Stafford's progress as the week goes on.

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.
