The Falcons’ offense is making some not-so-subtle changes under new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.

One of the major changes has been the implementation of the three-wide receiver set or “11” personnel — one back and one tight end — as a primary formation.

Fantasy Impact:

The main beneficiary here would be WR Harry Douglas, who could see a big jump in snaps. According to Pro Football Focus, Douglas played about 42 snaps and ran 31 pass routes per game in 2011. Provided he can stay healthy, those numbers should rise the Falcons to go to "three-wide" orphan. QB Matt Ryan is looking stronger and stronger as a sneaky mid-round pick after the elite QBs are off the board.

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.
