Next step in the de-evolution of the Browns' offense: ...

Next step in the de-evolution of the Browns' offense: More Chris Jennings at running back and less Jamal Lewis and Jerome Harrison.

We saw Jennings, an undrafted free agent signed in August from the CFL Montreal Alouettes, take precious carries away from Lewis on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
In a game that was scoreless at halftime, Lewis ran 10 times for 36 yards and Jennings seven times for 18 yards. Each had four carries in the second half. Harrison was active for the game but never touched the ball.

"We wanted to take a look at Chris because I think he's earned a look based on the things that he's done and that was something that we did this past week," coach Eric Mangini said. "If he continues to progress in practice, I think that will continue to be the case."

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.
