49ers place Kendrick Bourne back on COVID list

Nov 09, 2020

The 49ers placed receiver Kendrick Bourne back on the COVID-19/reserve list Monday.

Bourne missed the 49ers’ loss to Green Bay on Thursday because of a positive COVID-19 test result the preceding Tuesday, but the team removed him from the reserve list after he subsequently registered consecutive negative tests.

Related players: Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Richie James

Fantasy Impact:

It does not necessarily mean that he tested positive for the virus, the story said. The list is also for players who’ve had close-contact exposure to symptomatic or positive individuals. Bourne’s status for the 49ers’ game on Sunday at New Orleans appears to be in jeopardy. Coach Kyle Shanahan said last week that Samuel has a chance to return for this contest, so Bourne’s potential absence might mean that the 49ers’ top wideout trio would consist of Samuel, Aiyuk and James, the story added.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
