Dolphins rookie WR Patrick Turner has some raw ability, and Sparano admits the coaches need to find some playing time for this former USC starter despite his erratic practices. But is this third-round pick, who is realistically fifth on the receiver depth chart, REALLY the answer?

Maybe it's time the coaches found out. He flashed with acrobatic catches during training camp, but disappeared once making route adjustments were required. But after 12 games into his rookie season (yes I'm counting the exhibition games) isn't it about time the Dolphins gave him a test drive?

"I do want to get Pat Turner involved," Sparano said. "I don’t want to have questions at the end of the year. I want to get him involved, he’s got to keep working in practice like he is, and at some point his number is going to get called.”

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.
