Pats RB D.J. Foster feels 'great' in first preseason game

Aug 27, 2016

Running back D.J. Foster caught three passes for 33 yards and ran twice for 9 yards tonight in his preseason debut against the Panthers.

The Patriots were clearly trying to suit his strengths, as they set him up on screens and swing passes, as well as stretch runs to give himself an opportunity to show off his speed and quickness.

“I felt great,” Foster said. “I was telling some guys that was the first time I’ve been hit since college. It felt good getting out there. The coaches gave me the chance to show what I can do.”

Fantasy Impact:

James White and LaGarrette Blount appear to be the two lead backs, but the team is an injury away from having to go down the depth chart, so Foster is a name to keep an eye on. The Patriots have never really been predictable with their RBs so it's not out of the question Foster has some kind of role, especially when you consider White hasn't really made an impact to this point.

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.
