Charlie Batch out six weeks

Nov 23, 2009

Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Charlie Batch will reportedly miss up to six weeks because of a wrist injury that will require surgery.

Batch took over behind center in overtime of Sunday's 27-24 loss to Kansas City after starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left the contest following a blow to the head.

WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh cited a source as saying Batch needs the wrist procedure, although it is unclear as to when the veteran backup was hurt.

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.
