Cardinals' WR John Brown 'blowing everyone away'

May 17, 2014

Cardinals WR John Brown, a third-round pick out of Pittsburg State, has exceeded expectations at the team's rookie minicamp.

"John Brown is blowing everyone away," a team source said. "Explosive and sudden. Great hands and a better route runner than we even thought."

Fantasy Impact:

We're getting into the coachspeak season where everyone 'looks great' and is 'exceeding expectations.' It's more important to pay attention to any bad vibes coming out of these workouts. Still, it's nice to hear that Brown is looking good for the Cardinals. The team added Ted Ginn in the offseason after losing Andre Roberts.

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.
