ESPN: After a Week 8 in which Brad Johnson threw for a measly 122
yards and the Cowboys gained only 172 in all, their fewest ever in a
victory, internal concerns are emerging at Valley Ranch about whether
the NFL's oldest active QB can effectively incorporate Terrell Owens and Dallas' other receivers in the downfield passing game. A
high-ranking team source said the Cowboys will "probably" have
Johnson, the backup to injured Tony Romo, start against the defending
Super Bowl champion Giants on Sunday. But the same source said
Johnson's obvious limitations within the offense, on full display in
Sunday's 13-9 win over Tampa Bay, might prompt coach Wade Phillips
and his staff to consider other options, including third-stringer
Brooks Bollinger.

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.
