Rapoport: Patriots are placing WR Malcolm Mitchell (knee) on IR

Sep 07, 2017

Source: The Patriots are placing WR Malcolm Mitchell on Injured Reserve.

Related players: Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola, Phillip Dorsett

Fantasy Impact:

It's not clear at this point if Mitchell will have a chance to return this season, but this is clearly an upgrade for the other receivers in New England and might explain why the Patriots traded for Phillip Dorsett. Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola and Dorsett get a bump.

Chances are "very, very slim" that Lions TE Sam LaPorta returns this season

Dan Campbell confirms Lions TE Sam LaPorta had a surgery on his back, chances of him returning this year are “very, very slim”

Related Players: Brock Wright

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for one of the league's best tight ends. It's unlikely that Brock Wright delivers much outside of a random touchdown or two for the rest of the season, so it'd be best to leave him on waivers.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart ruled Out for Week 12

Jaxson Dart has not yet cleared the concussion protocol yet, per coach Mike Kafka.

He will not play Sunday vs. Lions.

Related Players: Jameis Winston

Fantasy Impact:

This is a bummer for QB streaming hopefuls. Winston still has a decent matchup against the Lions defense, but doesn't provide the type of rushing upside Dart would have. Consider Winston more in the QB15-20 range.

Cardinals rule out WR Marvin Harrison Jr., RB Emari Demercado for Week 12

Marvin Harrison Jr, Emari Demercado, Baron Browning will not play in #JAXvsAZ, per Gannon.

Also, Jonah Williams will be placed on IR.

Fantasy Impact:

Knight looks like he's in position to be the main ball-carrier for at least one more week, as a potential Trey Benson return could be on the horizon. Consider him around the RB2/3 fringe in Week 12.

Wilson was the obvious beneficiary in the pass-catching part of the offense, turning 18 (!!) Week 11 targets into a massive 15-185-0 stat line. It would be hard to fade him after that performance, and he could be a legit WR2 in Week 12 as Jacoby Brissett continues to sling the ball around the field.
