Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings (groin) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, reports Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Jennings has been struggling with a groin injury all season, missing Week 2 and Week 5 after aggravating the injury in Week 4. There is still no definite timetable for his return.
Greg Jennings ruled out, no fantasy value for Week 6

With Jennings out, James Jones will once again get the start opposite Jordy Nelson, with Randall Cobb assuming slot duties.
Fantasy Impact: Jones took big advantage of Jennings' absence last week, grabbing four catches for 46 yards and two TDs against the Colts. He will have a much tougher matchup against Houston's stout pass defense. Consider him a WR3 this week, with limited upside.
Cobb is improving week-to-week and can be considered a safe flex option in most leagues.
