Eagles promote WR Greg Ward, Alshon Jeffery status in doubt

Sep 21, 2019

The Eagles promoted WR Greg Ward to their active roster from the practice squad, placing OT Jordan Mailata on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Impact:

While Ward isn’t a fantasy option right now and Mailata was always a backup tackle and more of an experiment, the impact here has to do with Alshon Jeffery. The move to promote Ward likely means the Eagles feel the chances of Jeffery playing Sunday are not good and the Eagles would have otherwise only carried three active wide receivers on Sunday against the Lions with DeSean Jackson having already been ruled out. Keep a close eye on the inactives Sunday morning. The Eagles play at 1:00, so a decision will be made by 11:30, allowing Jeffery owners a viable chance to swap out Jeffery for another option if he indeed ruled out Sunday. Nelson Agholor will likely lead the Eagles receivers in targets with Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside also in the mix.

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.
