Jets, Washington Close to Deal

Jul 30, 2009

Barring an unexpected obstacle, Leon Washington be in Jets camp on time, awaiting his big pay day. Two-a-days start Friday.

Washington's agent, Alvin Keels, had a face-to-face meeting yesterday with GM Mike Tannenbaum, hoping to hammer out a contract before camp starts at upstate SUNY-Cortland. Washington has been threatening to hold out, which would cost him about $17,000 in mandatory daily fines. The two sides have made enough progress in recent days that a long-term deal appears likely in the coming days, sources said Wednesday night.

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.
