Maurice Jones-Drew is fine with new RBBC

Nov 28, 2013

Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew is apparently entering a new phase of his career in which he doesn’t get virtually all the carries.

He had 14 carries Sunday and six receptions, and Jordan Todman had 11 carries.

That pattern will apparently continue because offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said, “I think that would be a really good setup for us.”

Although he said it was difficult, Jones-Drew said, “In the fourth quarter, I was fresher than I’ve ever been. It worked out well, and we got the victory and will continue on that path.”

Fantasy Impact:

MJD had 144 total yards on 20 touches, but things won't always be as easy as they were against the Texans. It's not good for Jones-Drew's fantasy prospects that Todman is cutting into his touches, though if he continues to see a big role in the passing game, it will help to offset the reduction in carries.

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.
