Jerome Simpson sentenced to 15 days after plea agreement

Apr 05, 2012

A Kentucky judge sentenced former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson to 15 days in jail and three years of probation on drug-related charges.

Simpson reportedly had two pounds of marijuana shipped to his home last September, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Simpson pleaded guilty on March 1 in Kenton County Circuit Court to the charge where prosecutors recommended a 60-day jail stay as part of the plea agreement.

Simpson was originally indicted on a felony charge of marijuana trafficking, but as part of the plea deal the charge was changed to a prohibited act relating to controlled substances, also a felony.

Fantasy Impact:

Simpson is a talented WR, but he's clearly a knucklehead. Perhaps this will serve as a wake up call as he tries to find a job for the 2012 season.

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.
