QB Schaub to test knee

Nov 18, 2010

It’s a big day for Matt Schaub.

He didn’t practice Wednesday after being hospitalized for a bursa sac issue in his right knee, but coach Gary Kubiak said Schaub should be on the field for practice today and all indications are he's expected to play Sunday.

The Texans certainly need Schaub on the field to face the Jets this week, but we may not know his status until game time.

A hospital stay suggests doctors were aggressively fighting an infection with IV antibiotics. If that doesn’t work, things could get more complicated.

We’ve heard a lot about the improvements Dan Orlovsky has made in his second season with the Texans. But as Houston tries to pull to 5-5, it certainly doesn’t want to have to rely on Orlovsky proving he’s better while playing against a complex, blitz-happy defense.

Matt Leinart’s been the No. 3 all year.

Stay tuned for a Schaub update this afternoon.

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.
