Titans wills start season with Hasselbeck at QB

Aug 15, 2011

Rookie quarterback Jake Locker played well in his NFL preseason debut, and that’s a big plus for the Tennessee Titans, coach Mike Munchak said Sunday.

But Munchak made it clear that the coaches are counting on veteran Matt Hasselbeck to start this season. So no matter how well Locker plays in the preseason, there’s probably nothing he can do to change their minds.

At least for now, Locker remains the future at the position.

Fantasy Impact:

We'll have to see how successful Hasselbeck is to begin the season, and if he remains the starter all year. Neither QB is worth getting too excited about at the moment as a fantasy starter, or even as someone taking up a roster spot on your team. We rank Hasselbeck 29th, which puts him a low end QB3. Locker, of course, will have value in deeper leagues or dynasty leagues, but in standard leagues, keep them both on the waiver wire for now.

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.
