Ben Skowronek Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek (back) has been ruled out for the Week 12 game against the Green Bay Packers. Skowronek was in line for more work in the team's last game in Week 10 with Robert Woods (knee) out for the year, but the 24-year-old caught just one of his five targets for eight yards. His absence on Sunday against the Packers gives more hope that Odell Beckham Jr. will have an elevated role as possibly the No. 2 wideout behind Cooper Kupp in a game that could feature plenty of passing and points. Second-year wideout Van Jefferson will remain involved in the passing attack, but OBJ is expected to have a much bigger role in his second game with the team coming off the bye week. He's a WR3/flex with upside.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek (back) popped up on the injury report on Friday with a limited practice and is listed as questionable on the final injury report for Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers. Skowronek had a chance to make some noise in Week 10 in the first game without Robert Woods (knee), but he caught only one of his five targets for eight yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Coming out of the bye week, Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to have a much bigger role as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Cooper Kupp, so Skowronek will likely serve as the No. 4 wideout behind Van Jefferson if he's active. The 24-year-old should remain on the waiver wire in the vast majority of leagues. JJ Koski is the only other receiver on the active roster.

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Ben Skowronek (thigh) are both active on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Beckham and the rookie Skowronek should both have a role in the offense with Robert Woods (knee) now done for the rest of the season. However, Cooper Kupp has been the most targeted receiver in the league, and second-year wideout Van Jefferson should also have an expanded role, so temper expectations for both Beckham (making his Rams debut) and Skowronek against San Francisco. Beckham disappointed with the Cleveland Browns before getting waived, but he was also dealing with a shoulder injury and was in a low-volume passing attack. Suddenly in one of the best offenses in football, his rest-of-season arrow is pointing up and he should be rostered in all leagues.
