Matt Forte leaves with knee injury

Nov 01, 2015

Matt Forte left with a knee injury in the second half of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Forte, 29, walked to the locker room in Chicago under his own power and did not return.

The Bears' running back suffered a big hit in the open field by Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith early in the third quarter.

Forte, the Bears workhorse, earned 41 yards on 10 carries and four receptions for 28 yards before exiting.

Chicago receiver Eddie Royal also exited the game with a knee injury and was ruled out.

Fantasy Impact:

Bears coach John Fox told reporters he didn't know the severity of Forte's injury. Jeremy Langford would be next up if Forte misses time. The Bears play on Monday night in Week 9 at San Diego, so Forte has extra time but owners may be forced to wait until game time to know Forte's status.

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.
