Running back James Starks doesn't think he'll be out that long, but the Green Bay Packers might have to consider sitting him down for a while after he sprained his ankle in a third straight game.

Fantasy Impact:

Brandon Slaine could slide into Starks' role now if he's unable to go, but as we've seen all year, neither Starks or Slaine or Ryan Grant are top-notch RB fantasy options on the pass-happy Packers. Still, he's worth a pickup if you're hurting at the position, especially if you're a Starks owner.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:12 PM EST

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
