QB Robert Griffin III signs with Redskins

Jul 18, 2012

The Washington Redskins on Wednesday signed rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, the team announced.

The Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor was the second pick in this year's draft.

Griffin announced the news on Twitter: "Well people....It's Time to go to Work!!! Off the unemployment line and oh yea HTTR!!!"

The initials stand for "Hail To The Redskins," the team's fight song.

Griffin's four-year contract is worth $21.1 million and is fully guaranteed, with no offset language, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact:

We have Griffin ranked 13th at QB, which equates to a high-end backup right now. His ADP is the ninth round, but chances are someone is going to reach for him in hopes he's the next Cam Newton. He certainly has the potential to be a QB1 as the season goes on, but he should really be targeted by those who draft low-end QB1s who are unsure of their status, or if you're looking to form a committee QB situation for your fantasy team.

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.
