Packers HC Mike McCarthy confirms James Starks is still the starter

Nov 18, 2015

ESPN's Rob Demovsky:

Mike McCarthy: "[Eddie Lacy] will go second again this week." ... So James Starks is still the #Packers starting RB.

Fantasy Impact:

Starks missed an opportunity to seize hold of the RB1 job with a subpar rushing performance against the Lions, though he did major damage as a receiver. Lacy was inactive with a groin injury, but may be able to play this week.

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.
