Dennis Pitta decision likely end of week

Dec 02, 2013

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh was noncommittal on whether tight end Dennis Pitta will be activated to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

"We'll go through this week and see how he does," Harbaugh said Monday. "If he can play, he will. We want to get him up. That's our goal. It's not 100 percent certain at this point."

Fantasy Impact:

HC John Harbaugh said he believes Pitta is doing well but the question will be how well, and if the doctors give the OK. That decision will likely come later this week. Pitta could be eased back in or be on a snap count if he plays this week. His Week 14 matchup against the Vikings (28th) would be a good one while the rest of the season offers just OK matchups (Detroit 18th, New England 14th). Given it's the TE position, it's not out of the question he could step in and have TE1 potential if all goes well.

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.
