Michael Turner's Carries Will be Reduced

Jul 16, 2009

Atlanta Coach Mularkey knows he can't use Michael Turner as much as he did last season, but that's where Jerious Norwood comes into play. Turner had 376 carries for 1,699 yards, while Norwood had only 95 rushing attempts, even though he averaged 5.1 yards per carry.

"You can't run 370 times a season," Mularkey said. "If Michael does that, he's going to wear out over time."

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.
