Giants Jacobs is ok

Aug 23, 2010

Brandon Jacobs’ neck is no longer an issue. The running back said he will practice and be available to play against the Ravens on Saturday.

“It’s fine, it is doing good,” Jacobs said of his neck. “Nothing big. I will be out there today, full speed, doing what is called upon me to do.”

Jacobs said he injured his neck in the weight room doing shrugs without warming up beforehand. He did this last Thursday and didn’t expect to miss Saturday’s game against the Steelers.

“It was painful but it is something that was going to go away with proper treatment,” Jacobs said. “Never really a big issue with me.”

Jacobs reiterated that he feels good and strong this preseason after dealing with injuries last year.

Jacobs is looking forward to playing in the third preseason game. The running back said he is willing to do whatever role the coaching staff asks of him.

During the majority of training camp, running back Ahmad Bradshaw has gotten the first carry in practices. He also started the preseason opener against the Jets while Jacobs came in later.

Fantasy Impact:

It's looking more and more like Bradshaw could be the guy to get more work between the two, with Jacobs going back to maybe a change of pace and a goal line guy like he was with Tiki Barber. It was a role he really excelled in, too, leading to more carries but more injuries. Right now, Jacobs is rated 24th while Bradshaw is 27th. Jacobs ADP (7th) is almost a full round earlier than Bradshaw's (8th) as well. Keep an eye on this because both backs are worth drafting.

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.
