No QB controversy brewing in Tennessee

Oct 18, 2012

Jake Locker isn’t ready to play in a game, but the Titans quarterback did make one breakthrough on Wednesday, taking part in practice for the first time this month.

Locker (non-throwing shoulder) was limited, but he did some throwing in individual and 7-on-7 drills. Coach Mike Munchak has already ruled Locker out of Sunday’s game at Buffalo, where Matt Hasselbeck will get his third straight start. Locker But Munchak said there’s reason for optimism about Locker’s chances the following week. Locker dislocated his left shoulder twice in the first four games.

Asked if the Titans might consider sticking with Hasselbeck if the Titans should win two straight, Munchak said: “If (Locker) is ready to play next week, there wouldn’t be any doubt that he’d be the guy playing.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Titans have a mediocre schedule down the stretch, so Locker should resume his role as a fantasy QB2 when he makes his return.

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.
