Report: Rob Gronkowski likely to play Week 6

Oct 08, 2013

Per league source, Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is expected to be cleared this week and it is likely he will play on Sunday against the Saints.

Fantasy Impact:

Dr. James Andrews will be the one to clear Gronk, according to updated reports. The Saints-Patriots game is a late game on Sunday, so there will be some extra risk involved with starting Gronk. It's also possible the team limits his snaps, however he'll likely still fall in our low-end TE1 range - at least. Perhaps the best way to play it, assuming we don't get official word from the Pats before that, is to use him as a flex so you have more options in case he doesn't play. Until then, be sure to monitor the situation this week. With Gronk back and Danny Amendola coming out of last week OK, it seems Julian Edelman's value could take a bit of a hit here, at least in terms of targets.

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.
