Aug 12, 2013

Those expecting to see Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense in his first preseason game with the Eagles might have been confused by the team's opening drive.

The offense started out of the huddle on Friday night against the New England Patriots. The Eagles weren't rushing to the line of scrimmage. Then the pace picked up, accelerating during Nick Foles' touchdown drive in the second quarter.

But it decelerated again later in the quarter, and Matt Barkley operated out of huddle.

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out that Kelly has maintained that his offense goes at different paces, and it's not always at the breakneck speed of the reputation that precedes him. He would not say after Sunday's practice whether Friday's pace was an indication of how the Eagles will play this season, noting that the team had specific areas it wanted to work on in the opener.

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.
