Browns place Ben Watson on IR

Dec 16, 2011

The Browns will place TE Ben Watson on injured reserve today after three concussions.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners who need a TE should give Evan Moore strong consideration. Amongst the top 40 TEs in terms of total targets, Moore is #8 in fantasy points per target. Watson was seeing 5.5 targets per game, so if Moore sees an additional 4.0 targets per game (bringing his total to 6.5 per game), he should produce around 8.6 fantasy points per game, which are TE5 numbers. Keep in mind, Moore's stats may be a bit skewed because of his high TD rate (12.5% of his catches are for TDs), but he's a talented TE and has an opportunity to make some noise over the final two weeks of the fantasy season.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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.
