Seahawks Beat: Never 'in dispute' that RB Thomas Rawls is 'the starter when healthy'

Sep 01, 2016

When asked if Thomas Rawls or Christine Michael get the first reps in practice, beat writer Bob Condotta replied, "Rawls goes first. But that's never been in dispute that he's the starter when healthy."

Fantasy Impact:

This should ease the Christine Michael concerns/hype regarding his role in the offense. Expect him to serve as Rawls' backup. He's an intriguing attrition play given Rawls' injury history and continued recovery.

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.
