Jets will stick with Shonn Greene

Oct 11, 2012

HC Rex Ryan believes that RB Shonn Greene is the still the guy to lead the Jets out of their ground-and-pound funk this season. Gang Green’s typically sound rushing attack ranks 25th in the league (83 yards per game) through the first five games. Only two teams have averaged fewer than the Jets’ 3.2 yards per carry.

Ryan thinks that Greene, who has averaged 2.9 yards per carry, is still the right man for the job.

“Have I lost confidence in Shonn Greene? The answer is no,” Rex Ryan said on Thursday. “I think we keep giving him the ball. He’s working extremely hard. I just think it’s a matter of time before he really starts popping. We all know once he gets rolling, the whole team is lifted when you’re big back is running.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Colts are 30th in RB aFPA, so if ever there was a week for Greene to have a good game, it's this week.

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.
