Harvin misses practice with illness

Sep 25, 2009

Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin was absent from practice Thursday because of an illness.

Coach Brad Childress did not give any specifics on Harvin's situation, saying, "I'm not an epidemiologist," when asked if the Vikings feared the rookie might have symptoms of the H1N1 virus. Given the concerns about keeping those who are sick away from others, it would not come as a surprise that the team would send Harvin home.

His availability for Sunday's game against San Francisco will become more clear today when the Vikings issue their final injury report of the week and list players as probable, questionable, doubtful and out.

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.
