Saints RBBC will "change on a weekly basis"

Nov 16, 2012

With RB Darren Sproles expected to return to the active roster after missing the last two games with a broken hand, HC Joe Vitt offered no guarantees that Chris Ivory's workload will increase or even remain the same on Sunday at Oakland.

"We're going do exactly what we think is going to be necessary against the Oakland Raiders to beat them," Vitt said. "We'll take a look at what defensive fronts they're running, our play selection, we'll give the amount of carries and give the load that we think is warranted to beat that team and it's going to change on a weekly basis. Chris is playing well."

Fantasy Impact:

This isn't what fantasy owners want to hear, but the Saints have several good RBs and it sounds like they plan to use them all. Look for Sproles to play mostly on third downs with Ivory, Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram rotating on early downs.

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.
