Jared Goff running second team

Aug 01, 2016

First steps. They can be shaky, can be thrilling. They can be true adventure.

Jared Goff is the Los Angeles Rams' new prize, their franchise quarterback. The first overall draft pick, the Golden Boy from the Cal Golden Bears.

For now he is running with the second team. At some point, whether it’s to start the season opener or somewhere later, Goff is going to start. Players taken No. 1 overall are going to start.

Fantasy Impact:

Right now, he's playing behind starter Case Keenum. His progress figures to be filled with ups and downs, and certainly his first two practices went that way over the weekend. Sunday he delivered several sharp short passes, but also had a poor pass picked off by cornerback Marcus Roberson. He also threw an interception Saturday. He's ranked 29th on our list and will likely get a lot of late-round attention and as the story said, it's only a matter of time before Goff is the starter.

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.
