Patriots WR Aaron Dobson returns to practice

Aug 11, 2014

Second-year receiver Aaron Dobson was dressed in uniform Monday and prepared to practice for the first time since New England Patriots training camp opened July 24.

Dobson, who underwent surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot March 10, had opened camp on the active/physically unable to perform list.

"[He's] making good progress," coach Bill Belichick said before practice.

The return of Dobson was one of the top storylines for the Patriots, who are practicing in light shoulder pads and helmets this afternoon in advance of joint practices with the Eagles on Tuesday and Wednesday. Belichick said Tuesday's joint practice with Philadelphia will be in full pads.

Fantasy Impact:

He officially came off the PUP list on Monday, but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Dobson gives the Patriots more of an outside presence at receiver. A second-round draft choice in 2013, he started nine games last season and finished with 37 receptions for 519 yards and four touchdowns.

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.
