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.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
