Jeremy Maclin ruled out for Week 3

Sep 21, 2012

Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin has been ruled out for Week 3.

Fantasy Impact:

With Maclin out, expect Damaris Johnson to be the main beneficiary among the WRs. Some may point to Jason Avant, but in the four games that either DeSean Jackson or Jeremy Maclin missed in 2011, Avant was entirely unpredictable. He posted 1-2, 1-13, 8-110-1 and 1-10 in those four games, and his average targets (4.8) over that span actually decreased from his average targets in the other 12 games that season (5.2). Instead, it was Riley Cooper who saw 27 targets in Weeks 11-13, posting 13-240-1 in three games, though he failed to catch a pass in Week 10. Johnson will fill Cooper's role in Week 3. The other player who should benefit is Brent Celek, who saw 11 targets with Maclin knocked out of Week 2. DeSean Jackson becomes a safer start as well.

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.
