Bengals Beat: 'No' chance BenJarvus Green-Ellis beats out Jeremy Hill

Aug 07, 2014

Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner said that BenJarvus Green-Ellis has "no" chance to beat out Jeremy Hill and that he expects 10-15 carries per game for Hill.

Dehner provided additional thoughts on the Bengals' RB situation: Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill are slotted as the starters. Cedric Peerman is valuable on special teams and I'd have a hard time seeing them say goodbye to Rex Burkhead. The Law Firm could still stick around depending on how the fullback situation plays out or if an injury occurs to any of the other four. He's definitely on the bubble, though.

Fantasy Impact:

We currently project 9.3 carries per game for Hill, making him an interesting RB3/RB4 type available in the middle rounds. His stock took a bit of a hit when he was listed behind BJGE on the team's initial depth chart, but prospective fantasy owners shouldn't worry too much about that.

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.
