Patriots RB Brandon Bolden appears to be the odd man out, and missing practice last week didn’t help.

The Patriots could have an intriguing backfield with four different types of bodies. Stevan Ridley (5-11, 220) is the traditional every-down back, Shane Vereen (5-10, 205) is the pass catcher, LeGarrette Blount (6-0, 250) is a short-yardage tank, and Leon Washington (5-8, 192) is the speedy scatback and kick returner.

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.
