Darren Sproles out indefinitely with broken hand

Nov 02, 2012

Saints RB Darren Sproles will be sidelined with a broken hand that will require surgery. According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett, interim coach Joe Vitt didn't offer particulars Friday about when Sproles might return.

With Sproles out against the Eagles on Monday night, Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram will be getting the bulk of the work, and Chris Ivory should get some snaps for the first time all season. Triplett writes that WR/RB Travaris Cadet could possibly see time as Sproles' replacement, which was the case during preseason, but he's yet to register an offensive touch all season and has dressed for just four games.

Fantasy Impact:

Thomas is the big winner here. He will be used more in the passing game, but may yield some of his between-the-tackles work to Ingram, who should also see an increase in workload. Lance Moore may see a few extra targets in the passing game since he works the same area of the field as Sproles.

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.
