Packers Beat: RB Jamaal Williams an integral offensive weapon

Oct 06, 2020

But the Packers also have an integral offensive weapon behind Aaron Jones in Jamaal Williams, the 2017 fourth-round pick who the Packers selected one round before Jones.

On a night when the Packers didn’t have Adams or Lazard, Williams caught a career-high eight passes for a career-high 95 yards, including an acrobatic 29-yard sideline grab similar to the 30-yard reception Jones made against the Lions in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact:

Twitter was a buzz during the game when Williams was on the field most of the second quarter, even after Jones scored a TD and was a factor early in the game. There was never a reason given for Jones missing all that time and beat reporters said he was on the sideline with his helmet on. Jones started in the second half and continue to play after that, but time off the field opened the door for Williams to produce a pretty big fantasy night.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
