During an appearance with Howard Balzer and Mark Dominik of Sirius XM NFL Radio, Raiders left tackle Donald Penn, who is one of those new blockers, said that the Raiders are going to be committed to moving the ball on the ground during the 2014 season.

“We’re gonna run the ball, run the ball, then run it again, until the defense stops us,” Penn said.

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds like the blockers are in place to run the ball, now it will be in the hands of veteran RBs Maurice Jones-Drew and Darren McFadden to, according to the story, show they still have the wheels to thrive in the NFL. QB Matt Schaub and the passing game will also need to show something to keep teams from stacking the box.

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

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.
