Hixon: Manning a 'tough guy'

Oct 06, 2009

Eli Manning's teammates expect he'll make his 83rd consecutive start on Sunday.

Manning had an MRI on his right foot Monday, which revealed he has plantar fasciitis, an inflammation and swelling of the tissue on the bottom of the foot.

The Giants are officially listing Manning as "day to day."

But Manning has started 82 consecutive games over the last five seasons and his teammates believe he'll be out there for a home game against the Oakland Raiders.

"Eli's a tough guy," wide receiver Domenik Hixon said Tuesday at an NFL community event at Lyndhurst High School, about four miles from the Giants' training facility in East Rutherford. "Just from what I've seen and heard, he'll be out there. As soon as he gets on the field, he stays there. He's a competitor. We'll know more [Wednesday], but I know he'll be out there."

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.
