DAL WR Ogletree could fill in for Austin as starter

Sep 20, 2011

Kevin Ogletree would seem to be in position to start his second straight game Sunday vs. Washington with Miles Austin tweaking a hamstring injury Sunday at San Francisco and Dez Bryant coming back from a bruised quadriceps suffered in the season opener.

“Obviously we want our best player in our unit, Miles, and our second best player, Dez, to be in there,” Ogletree said, “but when they’re not able to go we’ve got vets that can step up. That’s our jobs as backups.”

Ogletree caught two passes for 50 yards, including a 17-yarder in the fourth quarter that led to Austin’s 25-yard touchdown grab.

By the end of Sunday’s game Ogletree was the Cowboys’ No. 1 receiver.

Fantasy Impact:

Ogletree seems like a guy to target in the waiver wire if you're hurting for WRs. His targets could take a bit of a hit since Dez Bryant is expected back, but he at least seems like a very solid WR2-WR3 option this week against the Redskins on Monday night.

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.
