Cowboys OT Tyron Smith (groin) not expected to play in Week 11

Nov 16, 2017

NFL Network reporter Jane Slater tweeted that Smith will not play this week versus the Eagles.

Her tweet read: "A person with knowledge of the situation tells me Cowboys LT Tyron Smith will not play Sunday (groin). Byron Bell will start instead."

Fantasy Impact:

Smith is one of the top offensive linemen in the league and we saw what happened last week when he missed a game: the Cowboys gave up six sacks to Adrian Clayborn. Four of those sacks came against Smith's replacement, Chaz Green.

Dak Prescott is our No. 7 ranked QB for the week, but the news of Smith potentially missing another game puts a slight damper on his Week 11 prospects. Hopefully, Bell will do a better job of protecting Prescott than Green did.

Davante Adams’ status up in air for Thursday vs. Seahawks

Rams WR Davante Adams injured his hamstring Sunday against the Lions and head coach Sean McVay sounded pessimistic about his chances of playing Thursday against the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact:

The Rams avoided a scare when Puka Nacua only suffered cramps, otherwise the Rams could have been down their top two wide receivers. They could be without Adams for a huge NFC West showdown in Seattle Thursday but McVay did say he “certainly wouldn’t rule him out yet.” It’s a tough turnaround on a short week so we’ll keep an eye out. Adams caught four passes for 71 yards in the 41-34 win over the Lions.

An MRI Sunday confirmed a torn ACL for Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, the team announced.

Fantasy Impact:

Mahomes tweeted, "Don't know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it hurts. But all we can do is trust in God and attack every single day over and over again. Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers. I will be back stronger than ever."

The Chiefs and Mahomes are exploring surgery options.

Sunday ended up a nightmare day for the Chiefs, losing their star quarterback and being eliminated from playoff contention at 6-8. Gardner Minshew came on in relief and went 3-of-5 for 22 yards with an interception.

Rams WR Davante Adams went to the locker room after pulling up during a route in the fourth quarter.

Fantasy Impact:

Adams was running a deep route and began limping before the ball arrived. He was down for a few moments as trainers tended to him. He was able to walk off the field and into the locker room. He is questionable to return.
