Caldwell: Ameer Abdullah's role 'will change by game'

Nov 11, 2015

Lions HC Jim Caldwell on if Ameer Abdullah is in the doghouse for fumble problems: "No" ... Said Abdullah's role will change by game.

Related players; Joique Bell, Theo Riddick

Fantasy Impact:

Since Joique Bell's return in Week 7, Abdullah has nine touches for 46 yards while Bell has 12 touches for 91 yards. Bell out-touched Abdullah 7-to-1 in Week 8 versus Kansas City. The only relatively safe option in the Detroit backfield is Theo Riddick, who has 17 touches for 95 yards, including nine catches. He's the #22 RB in PPR formats year-to-date.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

yesterday · 4:04 PM EST

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.
