Broncos sign TE Jacob Tamme to three-year deal

Mar 23, 2012

The Broncos went a long way in shoring up weapons for Peyton Manning on Friday, signing former Colts tight end Jacob Tamme as well as former Texans tight end Joel Dreessen.

Tamme signed a three-year, $9 million deal on Friday afternoon, becoming the first former (and only?) Colts player to join Manning on the Broncos. Despite a belief that Peyton would bring along an entourage at his next stop, that has yet to be the case.

Fantasy Impact:

In 2010, with Dallas Clark sidelined, Tamme caught 72 passes for 677 yards and 4 TDs in 11 games (including the playoffs), which prorates to 105-985-6 over the course of a full 16-game season. Is he going to catch 100+ passes? Probably not, but those numbers demonstrate the kind of potential that he has with Peyton Manning throwing him the ball. Dreessen will pilfer some targets, but Tamme should be the TE1 to start the season.

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.
