Rams will continue to start Case Keenum at QB

Sep 20, 2016

The Rams are averaging 4.5 points per game, and their starting quarterback is statistically one of the worst in the NFL.

But they’re still 1-1, and Jared Goff apparently still isn’t ready, so Jeff Fisher is going to keep trotting Case Keenum out there.

Via Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, Fisher made it clear that Keenum would remain the starter Sunday when the Rams play the Buccaneers on the road.

“We need more production out of our offense, and all things point to the quarterback position,” Fisher said. “But I’m expecting Case to continue to get better in this offense and we’re going to win games and score points.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Rams were shut out in the opener. In fact. they didn’t even get to the red zone, and Keenum threw two interceptions in the opening loss. In beating the Seahawks Sunday, he was barely better, leading them to three field goals, which makes them the only team in the league without an offensive touchdown, the story said. All this while number-two pick Carson Wentz is having early-season success with the Eagles.

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.
