Report: Eagles 'likely' benching Mike Vick

Oct 29, 2012

Eagles coach Andy Reid met with coaches after game on Sunday to discuss QB situation. Met again Mon morning. I'm told likely QB change to Nick Foles.

Fantasy Impact:

Eskin is quite close to the Eagles, so the report should be taken seriously. However, another beat writer in the know, Reuben Frank, said Michael Vick remains the starter for now. Andy Reid's news conference was postponed Monday due to Hurricane Sandy, so we won't know more until Tuesday or Wednesday.

As for Foles, he performed well in the preseason but we all know the regular season is a different animal. At least a few of the Eagles' losses can be pin-pointed to Vick's turnovers. With plenty of weapons to work with, Foles could immediately have some fantasy value, at least in deep leagues, with the potential to be a low-end QB1. If he starts, Foles would face one of the worst passing defenses in the league in the Saints this week.

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.
