Eagles QB Vick's x-rays are negative

Aug 20, 2012

ESPN's Monday Football broadcast team reported x-rays on Michael Vick's ribs were negative. He took a shot in the first quarter and left the game. He won't return.

Fantasy Impact:

Another sigh of relief... Vick has left the first two preseason games early now because of injuries. This was a big game for the Eagles first-teamers because their next preseason game, typically the contest where the starters play about three quarters, is against Cleveland - also the Eagles Week 1 opponent. Vick's durability has always been a question, so taking him as your QB this year means you need to back yourself up with another QB you'd trust to start.

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.
