Bennie Fowler has elbow fracture

Aug 13, 2016

Less than 24 hours after playing a starring role in the Broncos’ preseason opening victory at Chicago on Thursday, Bennie Fowler was in an X-ray room. The Broncos’ second-year receiver sustained a fracture on the outside of his right elbow while covering a Bears punt.

He had no idea.

Fowler stayed in the game without any problems, finishing with three receptions for 18 yards (6.0 average) and blocking another punt late in the second quarter that was recovered for a touchdown. But he woke up with discomfort and the images revealed the fracture, on the outside of the joint.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Fowler appeared to have a firm grip on the team’s No. 3 spot on the depth chart. The injury won't require surgery but he'll likely miss a few weeks. Cody Latimer and Jordan Norwood are next up on the depth chart

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

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.
