Gus Bradley impressed with Blake Bortles' accuracy

Aug 01, 2015

The Jacksonville Jaguars have only had two training camp practices, but coach Gus Bradley is already impressed with what he’s seen from second-year quarterback Blake Bortles.

Bradley said he likes Bortles’ command of the offense and the way he is throwing the ball after Bortles spent the offseason fixing some mechanical issues with his delivery.

"His accuracy is good for this early, especially," Bradley said Saturday afternoon. "I like his mechanics. I think you guys said you had noticed that. His mechanics, his poise [are good]. His big thing is he wants to own the offense so he can play at a higher level without thinking a lot, and that’s what he’s doing.

"You can tell he put in his time over the summer with the knowledge of the offense."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Bortles completed 13 of 22 passes in 11-on-11 sessions during his first two days of practice. He went 7-for-12 on Friday, but two of those incompletions were drops. It's potential good news, not only for Bortles, but for the young crop of WRs, like Allen Robinson, and TE Julius Thomas, who will benefit from a potential stronger QB situation this season.

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.
