The Giants feel there is a need for RB DJ Ware to gain more field awareness as his workload potentially increases this season and, for when he has a hole or open field in front of him, to get downfield like Brandon Jacobs used to.

The 6-foot, 225-pound Ware might be the best option to provide power running and, as he showed on a twisting second effort for a 2-yard touchdown in the first quarter of Friday’s game, he can get his momentum moving forward quickly.

Fantasy Impact:

The Giants already have Ahmad Bradshaw and David Wilson gaining most of the attention leading up to drafts. Having Ware as the goal line back would surely take TDs away from both players, but that's the way most teams are going these days anyway. Ware probably isn't worth a pick right now, but it sounds like if he gets things together, he could take on a change-of-pace role, much like Jacobs used to be.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

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.
