Texans Notes: Foster, Brown

Sep 02, 2010

The Texans feel better about their running game because Arian Foster averaged six yards a carry in preseason. Foster, who played at Tennessee, was an undrafted free agent.

General manager Rick Smith gave Foster a two-year contract to keep him away from the Saints and Jets, among other teams.

"We saw a lot of talent, but there were obviously some knocks to keep him from being drafted," coach Gary Kubiak said. "I don't remember as much injuries as they were having a bad year at Tennessee.

"We took a chance on him, and he's kind of grown up. The talent's there. Hopefully, he'll keep it going."

• Kicker Kris Brown wore a boot around the locker room this week because he's suffering from plantar fasciitis. He's kicked with it before.

"Kris kicked (against Dallas) through his foot bothering him a little bit, so we're getting him rested," coach Gary Kubiak said about the boot. "He's kicked with it before."

Fantasy Impact:

As far as the kicking job goes, it looks Neil Rackers should win the job.

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.
