Roy Williams upset by Madden stats

Aug 27, 2009

“I opened up the Madden today, and I'm pretty (mad) about that game,” Roy Williams said. “They've got me at an 86 (out of 100) speed, 87 hands and like 84 overall or something like that.

“I can't be mad because I didn't have a good year last year. They go off that year, but geez Louise, 86 speed? That's like tight-end speed, like I'm a slowpoke.”

The pressure is on Williams to prove his critics wrong as he attempts to replace Terrell Owens as Tony Romo's top wideout, a key hole to fill if the Cowboys are to return to the playoffs after a one-year absence.

“My expectation is to catch everything thrown to me,” Williams said. “A good receiver can make a quarterback look good.”

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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.
