Bills Beat: Sammy Watkins has 'noticeable limp' Monday

Nov 09, 2015

Sammy Watkins exploded for a career day against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after missing three of the previous four games. Watkins caught eight passes for 168 yards and a touchdown and gave the Bills offense a much-needed boost.

Following the performance, though, there were questions about how Watkins' previously-injured ankle would respond. On Monday, the team got an idea of just how healthy he is.

According to Mike Rodak of ESPN, Watkins was walking with a "noticeable limp" in the team's walkthrough. It's not a good sign obviously, but there's little doubt that he'll be able to play against the Jets on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a short turnaround as the Bills and Jets play Thursday night. We had a story earlier that Watkins said he was going to play but we can't always trust players so this is something for owners to keep an eye on.

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.
