Ricardo Lockette to have neck surgery, prognosis good

Nov 02, 2015

The Seattle Seahawks, in a statement released Monday morning, said that receiver Ricardo Lockette will have surgery to repair ligament damage in his neck.

Here’s the full text of the statement: “Wide receiver Ricardo Lockette sustained ligament damage in his neck that requires surgery to stabilize. He will undergo surgery this afternoon at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. He has full motion and feeling in all extremities and his prognosis is good. We will provide an update following surgery.”

Fantasy Impact:

It's great news following what was a scary situation. The injury will sideline Lockette for the rest of the season, coach Pete Carroll said during his regular weekly day-after radio show on ESPN 710 Seattle. Lockette was injured while covering a punt late in the first half of Sunday’s 13-12 win at Dallas when he was hit hard by Dallas’ Jeff Heath.

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.
