Patriots WR Chris Hogan (shoulder) ruled OUT for Week 13

Dec 01, 2017

Hogan has been ruled out for the Patriots' Week 13 contest versus the Buffalo Bills. It will be the fourth straight game he misses.

Fantasy Impact:

The last time Hogan saw the field was in Week 8. The Pats had a bye in Week 9, and without Hogan on the field the last three games, here's how the targets have been distributed in New England:

Brandin Cooks - 27
Rob Gronkowski - 18
Danny Amendola - 17
Rex Burkhead - 11
James White - 6
Dion Lewis - 6
Phillip Dorsett - 3
Martellus Bennett - 3

Cooks is our No. 3 ranked WR this week, Gronk is our No. 1 TE, and Lewis and Burkhead are both top-23 RB options. Those are the Patriots skill position players you want to insert into your starting lineups in Week 13.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram out for the remainder of the season

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.
