Bucs Beat: RB Dare Ogunbowale in lead for third-down job

Aug 29, 2019

When asked about Dare Ogunbowale's chance of being the lead back, beat reporter Rick Stroud answered, "Right now I think he’s winning the job as their third down back. Time will tell if he moves higher than that but he’s done a good job as a pass protector and route runn(er) and (has) run the ball inside and near the goal line well."

Fantasy Impact:

The Buccaneer's running back situation isn't good, but Dare Ogunbowale's possible job as a third-down back could be the best job in Bruce Arian's offense, especially if Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones continue to jockey for lead-back duties. While coaching the Cardinals from 2013 to 2017, they ranked 10th in running back targets. So there should be opportunity for Ogunbowale even if he doesn't earn more work, but there is room for him to do so.

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.
