Travaris Cadet practices fully

Sep 07, 2015

The New England Patriots issued their first injury report of the season Monday, and there was a notable takeaway:

Patriots running back Travaris Cadet, who injured his hamstring early in training camp and didn't appear in a preseason game, was a full participant. That reflects that he's close to returning to game action.

Cadet flashed at times before his injury, showing a knack for catching the ball (he was a receiver at Appalachian State) and his speed was also hard to miss.

He should factor into the mix on third down as well.

Fantasy Impact:

Cadet also flashed with the Saints last year when filling in for Pierre Thomas. Unfortunately for Cadet, he joins James White (2014 fourth-round pick) and exciting four-year veteran Dion Lewis as one of three pass-catching running backs on the roster.

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

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
