Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby still has the confidence of coach Mike McCarthy despite two more misses on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The coach said during his post-game news conference that the team would "not blink" when it came to its commitment to Crosby.
Mason Crosby gets vote of confidence: Fantasy implications
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby was given a vote of confidence by head coach Mike McCarthy on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

McCarthy conceded that Crosby needed to do a better job but said the Packers would continue to work with the veteran kicker. Crosby has made just 11 of his 18 field goal attempts this season.
Fantasy Impact: Crosby used to be one of the most sought after kickers in fantasy football because he was part of such of a high-scoring offense. The Packers aren’t going to be as high-scoring if Crosby isn’t making kicks and that can frustrate fantasy owners, especially in leagues with penalties for missing.
Crosby was a fringe starter in Week 11 and this performance will do little to help his fantasy value. There are plenty of other options for owners who have had enough of Crosby.
