Redskins sign RB Pierre Thomas

Dec 11, 2015

With uncertainty about Chris Thompson’s status moving forward as he deals with a torn labrum in his shoulder, the Redskins on Friday added a backup policy in Pierre Thomas, a nine-year veteran who spent his first eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

Thomas would fill Thompson's pass-catching role if Thompson can't play. The Washington RBBC has been a mess all year, so there's no reason to run out and pick up Thomas.

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.
