Dolphins WR Kenny Stills' extra work paying off

Aug 20, 2016

Not just for Dolphins WR Kenny Stills, but if Friday is a sign of things to come, it would pay off for the entire offense. As good as co-MVP Jarvis Landry is, he can’t do it alone. The Dolphins have long claimed they have three talented, complementary receivers when DeVante Parker is healthy. Now it’s time to prove it.

“It’s huge,” Tannehill said of getting Stills involved. “We’re going to target Jarvis a lot, and we’re going to target Kenny a lot and we’re going to target DeVante a lot. So when you have three really explosive, talented playmakers, it makes it tough to take away one guy.”

Fantasy Impact:

Stills has been putting in extra work since March, the story said, and is looking to get his career back on track after a disappointing 2015 season when he was acquired via trade from the Saints. Stills is likely still behind Landry and Parker in terms of targets, but is getting some late-round attention in fantasy drafts. The Dolphins offense has really struggled in camp so if Stills can continue to shine he could get more involved.

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.
