NYG: Nicks has pushed his way up the depth chart

Sep 09, 2009

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks has pushed his way up to the 4th-receiver spot, and he could push Mario Manningham for No. 3. Nicks was so good, in fact, that backup QB David Carr compared him to Andre Johnson, one of the NFL's best receivers and a former Carr teammate from their days in Houston.

Even Nicks admitted he was "encouraged" by his summer and promised there's a lot more to come.

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.
