Stefon Diggs wants to improve

Aug 02, 2016

Stefon Diggs' laughter quickly faded, however, abruptly replaced with a serious look and tone, when he was asked about his rookie campaign — you know, the rookie season that seemed to catch many observers by surprise as he led the Vikings in targets (84), receptions (52), receiving yards (720) and yards after catch (300)?

“As far as my rookie season, I don’t want to talk about it. I was disappointed in myself,” Diggs said stone-faced. “Everything that’s in the past is in the past. I look forward to this new year.”

Fantasy Impact:

Diggs thought he was better than his numbers and moving forward said he wants to be a lot better. As the story pointed out, he did fade a bit down the stretch when the weather got cold and it was obviously he was QB Teddy Bridgewater's go-to guy. But with Laquon Treadwell joining the receiving corps, it’s hard to envision Diggs’ role expanding much more than the 6.5 targets per game he saw as a rookie.

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.
