Ryan Fitzpatrick has 'ligament issue' in thumb

Nov 01, 2015

The Jets rolled with Geno Smith for the rest of Sunday afternoon and the question for the Jets is whether Ryan Fitzpatrick’s left thumb injury is going to lead to an extended run for the former starter.

Alex Flanagan of CBS Sports spoke to Jets coach Todd Bowles at halftime of their game against the Raiders and reports that Bowles said Fitzpatrick has a “ligament issue” in his thumb. Bowles didn’t give any sense of Fitzpatrick’s outlook for future weeks, but Mike Florio of PFT reported that the Jets have already started calling around in search of quarterback help.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Geno Smith could be replacing Fitzpatrick at least for the short term until we learn more about Fitz's injury. Smith was 27-for-42 with 265 yards playing from behind. He had two TDs and one INT. With the talent around him, he certainly has some fantasy upside if he can avoid turnovers.

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.
