ESPN Boston reports that Patriots DE Chandler Jones “looks like a permanent fixture” at right end.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones is shaping up to be the sleeper IDP pick this season, although if he continues to impress he won’t be a sleeper much longer. He had five quarterback pressures in 14 drop backs in New England’s preseason opener last week. If the Patriots view him as a full-time starter, Jones’ IDP value will continue to soar.

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
