The Cleveland Browns are near the end of their rope wit...

Nov 05, 2011

The Cleveland Browns are near the end of their rope with running back Peyton Hillis and are prepared to let him walk in free agency after this season.

At this point, it would take a dramatic turnaround in behavior and production for Hillis to persuade the Browns to re-sign him when he becomes a free agent in March.

Fantasy Impact:

Hillis hasn't been the most motivated player in the NFL this year, and this type of speculation means he'll probably have less motivation to get healthy. It's probably still too early for fantasy owners to cut him, but that time is drawing closer. For now, Chris Ogbonnaya is Cleveland's top fantasy back, and Montario Hardesty should remain on your roster if you can wait for him to return.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
