Seahawk Notes: Tate and Lynch

Oct 14, 2010

Seeking No. 1 receiver
Offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates acknowledged that the revolving door at receiver -- with Deion Branch now gone -- leaves the team looking for someone to step up.

"We'll give them all a shot," Bates said. "We've got to see what they can do. We look forward to Deon (Butler) stepping up, Golden (Tate) stepping up, Mike (Williams) continuing his progress. We're just looking for someone to take it over."

Lynch it up
As for the biggest challenge for new running back Marshawn Lynch?

"I think just the learning curve," Bates said. "Usually you have 15-17 OTAs (organized training activities) and two-a-days. When you bring guys in three days ago, it makes it challenging. Knowledge is power, so you've got to be on it mentally before you get the physical game down."

But Lynch figures to get tossed in immediately and the 24-year-old says he's ready to roll.

"It's still football. Nothing has changed but the play-calling," he said. "As far as conditioning and the mindset of getting up and going out there and putting in work, it's all the same. I'm just learning some new plays and wearing some new colors."

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.
