Kevin Smith's ankle only a “minor tweak”

Aug 29, 2012

Lions RB Kevin Smith came up limping early in the second quarter. He could be seen punching the bench on the sideline in frustration.

"I didn't want to be injured, so when I get scared like that, I kind of lost it a little bit."

Smith, who had a high ankle sprain last season, was concerned he suffered a similar injury. A medical evaluation revealed it was only a minor tweak.

"I feel better," Smith said. "I wasn't in a walking boot or anything like that. I've got all my movement. Obviously it's fresh and I still have some swelling, but it's good."

Fantasy Impact:

Smith is in line for lots of work early in the season so this is great news for his owners.

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.
