Bengals believe Tyler Kroft injury not serious

Aug 03, 2016

The Bengals’ stock of tight ends named Tyler took its second hit of the year on Tuesday when Tyler Kroft injured his knee during practice.

Kroft has been the No. 1 tight end in camp with the team already missing Tyler Eifert as he makes his way back from offseason ankle surgery, but the team had to turn to non-Tyler options after Kroft left practice with a knee injury. Eifert’s absence may extend into the regular season, so a long absence for Kroft would likely force the team to look for other options at the position.

The Bengals don’t believe that things will play out that way. Geoff Hobson of the team’s website described the injury as a “jammed knee” and that “indications were that it wasn’t serious.”

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for the team as there's a chance Tyler Eifert may not be back for the start of the season, let alone be 100-percent. The story said the team may still need to add a TE to go along with Ryan Hewitt, who is an H-back.

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.
