Adrien Robinson got the message well before the Giants sent one by not selecting a tight end with any of their seven picks in the recent NFL Draft.

"I take that as they still believe in me," Robinson said following off-season workouts at the team’s facility Tuesday. "Obviously it’s a huge opportunity. They didn’t draft anybody or bring any big-name free agents in, so it’s a huge opportunity for me and I have to take advantage. … With this being my third year, it’s time to show up or go home. That’s my mentality. That’s how I’m looking at it."

"Now or never," quipped Robinson, who has lost 15 pounds from last season’s playing weight of 285 to run the more versatile route tree required in the McAdoo offense.

Robinson, 25, expected to contribute in his second year, but he suffered a foot injury in the preseason finale at New England that took most of the regular season to heal.

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.
