Tom Brady makes a bootless trip to Buffalo

Oct 11, 2014

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is traveling to Buffalo Saturday with the Patriots despite suffering an ankle injury during yesterday's practice, according to a source.

Even better, he doesn't need a walking boot, indicating the injury isn't all that serious. Brady is officially listed as questionable for tomorrow's game against the Bills after the ankle popped up on the injury report for the first time yesterday afternoon.

It's only the fifth time Brady has been listed as questionable on an injury report, so that piqued the interest over the mystery ailment. He is 3-1 in the previous four games, including a perfect passer rating against the Lions on Thanksgiving in 2010. The lone loss happened in Week 1 against the Dolphins, though his balky calf was hardly the reason for that defeat.

Fantasy Impact:

Even with very little injury information surfacing in the past 24 hours, there was hardly any doubt Brady would play against the Bills with first place on the line, the story said. He has fought through some nasty injuries to his shoulders, ribs, hand and ankle in the past, and his toughness has never been questioned. It very well could be some gamesmanship being played by the Pats. Brady is coming off a pretty good game last week against the Bengals but is still only ranked 16th on our QB list this week.

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.
