Dawson Knox (hand surgery) out for three weeks

Oct 23, 2021

Buffalo has a bye Week 7 so Knox may only end up missing two games after having surgery this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Look for Tommy Sweeney to start in his place at tight end, while Gabriel Davis may gain the most opportunity in the pass game from Knox’s absence.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper (COVID) back at facility

Wide receiver Amari Cooper was back at the Cowboys’ facility on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper missed the last two games after testing positive for COVID-19, which triggered a mandatory 10-day quarantine period because Cooper is unvaccinated. The story went on to say quarterback Dak Prescott told reporters that Cooper was in the building, but that he did not practice with the rest of the team. Players returning from the COVID list undergo conditioning testing before receiving final clearance to get back on the field, so Cooper may be ready for Tuesday’s practice and the hope is that he’ll be joining CeeDee Lamb in returning to the wide receiving corps for Thursday’s game against the Saints.

Sources: The Saints appear poised to make a QB change. Taysom Hill is taking first-team reps this week in practice.

Related players: Trevor Siemian

Fantasy Impact:

Hill is fresh off a strange, new contract that will see him earn money depending on what position he plays going forward, and now it appears he'll start at QB in Week 13 on Thursday night against the Cowboys. The tweet added Siemian is taking reps with the number-twos. Hill is best known for his running and with Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram battling injuries and missing Week 12, Hill probably gives the team their best shot at a win and a late push to the playoffs.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) not planning on surgery 'at this time'

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers does not plan to have surgery on his toe at this time, per me and Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact:

As the tweet pointed out, "at this time" is the key. If Rodgers were to get surgery, he'd certainly miss games, and probably cost the Packers a shot at the top seed in the NFL. They currently sit in second behind the Cardinals, but do own the tiebreaker thanks to a 24-21 win earlier this season. The hope for Rodgers is the toe will heal and improve over the bye week, the tweet went on to say.
