Over the past few weeks, we've gotten glimpses into how Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt plans to use QB Jake Locker. It appears that the coach is inserting the quarterback into his system, not molding his system to fit the quarterback.

In other words, Locker is being groomed as a pocket passer. While that doesn't eliminate rollouts and bootleg passes on occasion, it means the majority of Locker's throws will come from a conventional pocket.

Fantasy Impact:

When Locker was seemingly at this best last season, and showing glimpses of being a starting fantasy QB, he was doing his share of running - which included TD runs. But the story pointed out that Locker's passing percentage actually went down last season when he rolled out. We rank Locker 25th at his position, which is QB3 material.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
