Packers LB Desmond Bishop is scheduled to undergo surge...

Aug 12, 2012

Packers LB Desmond Bishop is scheduled to undergo surgery to his injured right hamstring, and is likely to miss the entire regular season. He suffered the injury during Green Bay’s preseason opener on Thursday night.

Fantasy Impact:

We had Bishop ranked as our top IDP linebacker, so this is a huge blow for the Packers. We’ve now bumped Browns LB D’Qwell Jackson to the top spot although San Francisco’s Patrick Willis and St. Louis’ James Laurinaitis would be quality picks as well. D.J. Smith is now the favorite to start in the middle for the Packers.

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.
