Chiefs Charles emerges ok

Dec 20, 2010

Jamaal Charles has a sense of timing. The dramatic players always seem to.

On Sunday, after the Rams stole momentum with a fourth-quarter touchdown, the Chiefs were trying to run out the final 4 minutes and protect their 20-13 lead. Instead, on the first play, Charles broke free for an 80-yard run.

The only imperfection was that Charles, for one reason or another, didn’t quite reach the end zone. Rams cornerback Ron Bartell caught up with him and brought Charles down at St. Louis 2, and he didn’t pop up the way he does so often.

No matter. After trainers tended briefly to Charles, he walked off the field, and Thomas Jones reached the end zone on the next play.

After the Chiefs’ 27-13 victory, and after Charles’ teammates were assured he wasn’t injured, his performance was worth smiling about.

“I’m on him a little bit about getting caught there at the end,” Chiefs guard Brian Waters said. “I know he’s going to claim he got cramped up, but we’ll see.”

Fantasy Impact:

Charles and company take on the Titans next week.

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.
