Bills Beat: RB Zack Moss gets clear vote of confidence

Dec 15, 2020

A week ago, rookie running back Zack Moss fumbled in a key spot, gifting the 49ers the shortest of fields and an easy touchdown. Sean McDermott and his coaching staff swiftly limited Moss’ snaps and said afterward the running back needed to learn a lesson. Credit to the Bills for not extending that lesson into this game against the Steelers. If Moss is going to show growth, he needs to know the team has confidence in him. The Bills showed that on the final drive of the game when Moss carried the ball six times for 26 yards and two first downs on Buffalo’s seven-minute, 11-second drive to seal the win.

The story added Moss got a clear vote of confidence on that last drive. The Bills ran 11 plays before Allen’s two kneel-downs, and Moss touched the ball on six of them. Moss took 59 percent of the Bills’ offensive snaps to Singletary’s 40 percent. He also had 13 carries to Singletary’s seven. And 26 of Moss’ 43 rushing yards came on the final drive. The Bills trusted Moss to be their closer, and the rookie delivered, 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.
