Bryan Edwards continues to impress

Aug 05, 2021

According to the Athletic, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards has been enjoying a strong summer and has kept it up in training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Bryan Edwards has been the recipient of off-season praise from beat writers, coaches, and teammates alike, all summer, most recently from quarterback Derek Carr and head coach Jon Gruden. Carr once again compared the second-year wideout to former Fresno State teammate Davante Adams, noting that his body control and strong hands remind him of the Green Bay Packers superstar. Head coach Jon Gruden offered this: 'Edwards has great ability … he looks like T.O.,” Gruden said on NFL Network last week. “He looks like one of the No. 1 wideouts in the league'. While hearing coaches talk up younger players is nothing new for this time of the year, this is a reminder that Edwards has a chance to emerge as a top option in the Raiders passing attack, especially if Carr's affinity for the wideout continues to grow. Currently 87th in our wide receiver rankings, Edwards could scream up draft boards with a strong showing during the preseason.

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.
