Saints RB Mark Ingram (hand) says he's 'doing everything,' team hasn't 'babied' him at all

Oct 15, 2014

RB Mark Ingram got the majority of the carries in the Saints' first two games. But as to how the Saints will split the reps on Sunday will be a wait and see game.

"He's doing well and we will kind of see how we handle that on Sunday," said Saints coach Sean Payton. "Obviously we value depth at that position."

If there's a positive to the injury, Ingram said, it's that it's not something nagging like his toe injury. Since his return to practice on Monday, he hasn't been limited in what he can do. He no longer has a brace on his hand, and the only reminder of his injury is a still-fresh scar on his hand.

"I'm ready to go full go, 100 percent, full tilt," he said. "I've been getting all the reps in practice. They haven't babied me or eased me into practice, so I've been doing everything, catching, running, blocking, everything."

Fantasy Impact:

We're expecting Ingram to return to his role as lead back, though the carries might be more of an even split with Khiry Robinson than they were before Ingram's injury. It was a 24-to-14 split in carries through two weeks, and Ingram also caught four passes prior to his injury.

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.
