Virgil Green looks to get involved on offense

Aug 04, 2016

Thursday was one of those days when Broncos TE Virgil Green showed every bit of the potential he has tried to showcase along the way. He had four touchdown receptions in the morning practice, including a leaping grab that concluded with a rough landing and a brief chat with Broncos trainers.

“Virgil is the red-hot player of the day here in Dove Valley," Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said afterward. “What a day he had. He made a bunch of plays in the red zone."

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Green missed much of the offseason program after multiple finger surgeries, and because Jeff Heuerman missed his rookie season in 2015 with a torn ACL, the Broncos opened camp with plenty of uncertainty at the position. The other three tight ends in camp -- Garrett Graham, Henry Krieger-Coble and John Phillips -- are all in their first seasons with the team, so Green is the only player the Broncos have at the position who has played in a regular-season game for them. We had an a news story in the recent past that said the Broncos want to bring more offense to the TE position. Green is ranked 31st among our TEs, but highest among all Broncos at the position, so he can be had late in drafts.

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.
