Seahawks reiterate that RB Thomas Rawls is the starter

Sep 15, 2016

Of Thomas Rawls being the starter, Seahawks OC Darrell Bevell says "he's always been our starter."

Fantasy Impact:

This may or may not quiet the Christine Michael "truthers" out there, but Rawls is expected to ramp up his workload in the coming weeks, and the team is planning to start him against the Rams in Week 2. One very interesting note from Week 1: Rawls, serving as the backup to Michael, caught three passes on three targets. He saw only 11 targets in 13 games (starting nine) last season. This is a great sign for his potential value in PPR formats.

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.
